Wat Phra Dhammakaya - Most amazing Buddhist Temple | Pathum Thani, Thailand
Wat Phra Dhammakaya (Thai: วัดพระธรรมกาย; RTGS: Wat Phra Thammakai; IPA: [wát pʰráʔ tʰam.má.kaːj]) is a Buddhist temple (wat) in Khlong Luang District, in the Pathum Thani Province north of Bangkok, Thailand. It was founded in 1970 by the maechi (nun) Chandra Khonnokyoong and Luang Por Dhammajayo. It is the best-known and the fastest growing temple of the Dhammakaya Movement. This movement, also known as the Dhammakaya meditation tradition (Vijja Dhammakaya), was started by the meditation teacher Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro in the early-20th century. Wat Phra Dhammakaya is one of the temples that emerged from this movement and is part of the Mahanikaya fraternity. The temple is legally represented by the Dhammakaya Foundation. It aims to adapt its traditional Buddhist values in modern society.[2] It deploys modern technology, marketing methods and interprets Buddhist doctrines in ways that have led to controversy and a government crackdown. The temple plays a leading role in Thai Buddhism with the Chinese religions consultant and writer Edward Irons describing it as the face of modern Thai Buddhism.[3]
Initially, the temple was founded as a meditation center, after Maechi Chandra and the just ordained monk Luang Por Dhammajayo could no longer accommodate the rising number of participants in activities at Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen. The center became an official temple in 1977. The temple grew exponentially during the 1980s, when the temple's programs became widely known among the urban middle class. Wat Phra Dhammakaya expanded its area and the building of a huge stupa (pagoda) was started. During the period of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, the temple was subject to widespread criticism for its fundraising methods and teachings, as Luang Por Dhammajayo was charged with embezzlement and removed from his office as abbot. In 2006, the charges were withdrawn and he was restored as abbot. The temple grew further and became known for its many projects in education, promotion of ethics, and scholarship. The temple also became accepted as part of the mainstream Thai Sangha (monastic community). After the 2014 military junta, the abbot and the temple were put under scrutiny again and Luang Por Dhammajayo was accused of receiving stolen money from a supporter and money-laundering. The temple has been referred to as the only influential organization in Thailand that has yet to be subdued by the ruling junta, which has shut down most opposition since taking power. The judicial processes against the abbot and the temple since the 1990s have led to much debate regarding the procedures and role of the state towards religion, a debate that has intensified during the 2017 lockdown of the temple by the junta. As of 2017, the whereabouts of Luang Por Dhammajayo was still unknown, and in 2018, Phrakhru Sangharak Rangsarit was designated as the official abbot.
UNBELIEVABLE PLACES THAT REALLY EXIST - The Most Mysterious UFO Temple Wat Phra Dhammakaya Thailand
Today we are in Wat Phra Dhammakaya Temple in Bangkok Thailand.
Except for those who actively visit or attend the temple, Wat Phra Dhammakaya is much of a mystery to Westerners looking to explore Buddhism, despite it being the largest, most populous temple in Thailand.
Wat Phra Dhammakaya is a colossal 1,000 acre Buddhist temple in Khlong Luang District, in the peri-urban Pathum Thani Province north of Bangkok, Thailand. It was founded in 1970.
Apart from Wat Phra Dhammakaya’s immense size, the temple is also known for its iconic dome-shaped UFO looking Cetiya. The Dhammakaya Cetiya is certainly one of the more grand cetiyas in the world.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya
... the world's biggest Buddhist temple, which is being designed to house more than a million pilgrims. An extraordinary complex situated just outside Bangkok.
The Dhammakāya Movement is a Buddhist movement founded in 1916 by the Thai meditation master Phra Mongkolthepmuni (1885-1959) - the late abbot of Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, Thonburi. The movement is primarily represented today by its non-profit foundation, the Dhammakaya Foundation, and the Wat Phra Dhammakaya temple in Pathum Thani Province, Thailand.
It has many doctrinal elements to distinguish it from conventional Theravāda Buddhism and in some respects resembles schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. The Dhammakāya school of meditation is marked by its literal interpretation of Buddhist technical terms, (including the term dhammakāya) in their physical meaning, as described by Phra Mongkolthepmuni. Many sermons of Phra Mongkolthepmuni himself can be traced back to some schools of meditation in Southeast Asia preserved only in ancient meditation manuals.
Following the death of Phra Monkolthepmuni, the Foundation's work was continued by his disciple, Khun Yay Mahā Ratana Upāsikā Chandra Khonnokyoong. In 1970, a temple, called Wat Phra Dhammakaya, was constructed as a home for the movement. Located in Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani Province, the temple was intended to become an international center for the study of meditation.
The Dhammakaya Foundation, under the leadership of Ven. Phra Rajbhavanavisudh, better known as Luang Phor Dhammajayo, President of the Foundation, has set the goal to create world peace for all mankind by developing a peaceful mind in every individual. In fact, world peace is a result of a peaceful and purified mind of all. Therefore, we need a place to facilitate people in their search for spiritual fulfillment and the kind of happiness that is independent of material things and circumstances.
The World Dhammakaya Centre (WDC.) is a Buddhist parkland and sanctuary. It was started in 1985 by Phra Rajbhavanavisudh and Khun Yay. The centre covers 1000 acres (4 km²). In the area there are six main landmarks:
(1) The Memorial Hall of Phra Monkolthepmuni: This circular domed building was built in 2002 in honor of Phra Mongkolthepmuni. At present it houses an exhibition and a golden statue of that monk. The building is open to visitors and pilgrims.
(2) The Great Sapha Dhammakaya Hall: This hangar-like construction built in 1997 is a multi-functional two-storey building is used for meditation, Buddhist lectures and ceremonies, youth training courses and monastic conferences. The upper level has been designed to accommodate 150,000 people and the lower level is used primarily for parking but can be used as seating capacity for an additional 150,000 people if necessary.
(3) The Dhammakaya Cetiya is a symbol of world peace through inner peace. Built entirely on international public contributions, it is also the embodiment of unity and love for mankind. The dome-shaped Cetiya (stupa) is the hallmark of what has become the largest venue for mass meditation and prayers for Buddhists and peace-loving people of the world.
(4) The Grand Meditation Amphitheatre is the name of a two-storey cloister built to accommodate monks, novices and peace-loving people from around the world to meditate and pray for the happiness of fellow human beings regardless of race, nationality, faith and religion.
(5) Named after the founder of the Dhammakaya Temple, the Dining Hall of Khun Yay can seat up to 6,000 monks. Everyday, lay people come to enjoy offering food and refreshments to more than 1,200 monks and novices who reside at this temple.
(6) The Memorial Hall of Khun Yay: This hexagonal pyramid-shaped chapel was built in 2002. It is made of gold-tinted plate glass. It is a two-storey structure. The lower floor is a museum with an exhibition telling the biography of Khun Yay, the nun who founded Wat Phra Dhammakaya. The upper floor houses a golden image of the nun.

Wat Phra Dhammakaya (วัดพระธรรมกาย, RTGS: Wat Phra Thammakai) is a Buddhist temple in a northern suburb of the Thai capital of Bangkok, Amphoe Khlong Luang, Pathum Thani. The 1977 founded Wat Phra Dhammakaya, was constructed from 1985 to the World Dhammakaya Centre, is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world.
He is the center of a same name, internationally popular Buddhist sect. Although officially part of the Mahanikai order of the Thai Theravada Buddhist Sangha, it takes up elements of Mahayana Buddhism. The Dhammakaya sect is well-known for their meditation style, which would directly lead to the attainment of nirvana. It promises its adherents also financial and economic success. The Dhammakaya Foundation has a large following in Thailand, but is exposed to frequent criticism because she aggressively advertises for donations and differs in its doctrine of official Theravada Buddhism in Thailand.
