International Dhammadayada Training & Ordination Program
Apply for Training and Ordination Program of 2008
 Ordination is an essential part of life

"For all male Buddhists. The individual cultivates merit that carries over into the next life and receives many benefits for his present life. Furthermore, he gains knowledge, wisdom, a greater understanding of the world, both socially and economically as well as physical, mental and spiritual well-being. Those who are ordained are not merely individuals who shave their heads and wear monks' robes; they must train, practice, and embody the teachings of Lord Buddha."

If you are interested in ordination and would like to get a better insight about Buddhism at first hand, apply for this program and be a Buddhist monk for one month in Thailand. It’s time to learn Buddhist way of life. A unique program, a great opportunity and an indescribable experience.

The reason of my ordination is to learn more about the Eastern culture. And I want to purify my action, speech and mind. Perhaps I could take what I learn about Eastern culture here to benefit people in the West. Phra Dhammakaya Temple is well organized and suitable for the study and practice of Dhamma for everyone. My expectations from this ordination is to gain Buddhist knowledge in order that I can prorogate Buddhist more in Europe.

The reason I want to ordain is that I want to gain more experiences in meditation and the knowledge of Buddhism. I was so excited to learn that there was an International Dhammadaya Ordination Scheme in Thailand at Phra Dhammakaya Temple. The temple is famous for its orderliness and English Training Program.

 

I think this is a good opportunity for foreigners to be able to ordain here and gain more inner experiences as they wish. Moreover, they will have a chance to learn about Buddhism and cultivate merit for themselves and their families.

A great sense of calm which lasts for a long time and I did see a small point of white light which stayed with me for a while. It was very nice. It was a feeling of calm, a feeling of happiness. It was feeling that I didn’t want to go away. I was very glad of the feeling of relaxation, happiness, and calm even for a short period of time.

I’d like to say that the week passed has been very special for me because not only this we have a lot of opportunity to meditate. We also have a possibility to learn about the other cultures and to practice Buddhism together. And I had a good meditation experience which I didn’t have before I could see crystal ball and I could feel peace and happiness inside. And I am very happy that I was able to wear this rope and share this experience with people from different countries. I think this program is unique and very special in this world there isn’t the other program like this.

 

I’d like everyone from which country you are, whatever country you are to come here and to experience it, it’s really worth while. You can wear the rope and when you wear this rope you will find your life has changed. Although it was only for short while but your life will change. Not only you can find inner peace and something new inside. Your will find that your life has also a new perspective and that you can see thing differently. For example, you don’t need very luxury bed to sleep on, just to give an example. There are many to learn for monastic life this is old more than 2,500 years.

 

So I’d like to invite everyone who interested in Buddhism and meditation to come here and experience it for yourself.
