On
April 24th, 1949, a child was born in an old hut ,to his mother,
Mrs. Sampao Chanpetch, a poor woman with a great love for her
son. This poor child became the man who now supports and encourage
many underprivileged people with all of his hard work. He did
not try to escape his life of poverty and hardship. Instead of
seeking out his own prosperity, he has given consistent and equal
opportunity to those of Thai society who need help and kindness. |

Honor,
fame and national recognition have never deterred his original attitude
and energy from the way of Buddhism. That once poor boy is "
Pra Payom Kallayano." |
|
| The
poverty of his family neither damaged nor kept Pra Payom from his
studies. Consequently, he was given the highest academic certificate
in Buddhism, 1st class Dharmist, which led him to be a qualified
preacher in society. Honorary awards from various institutes throughout
Thailand, have given further proof of society's acceptance of him
as one of the country's most influential and positive Buddhist monks.
He has been described as being "The Monk who has lots of work
but little time". Furthermore, because of his hard work and
dedication, he has been publicly recognized as "The Monk who
cares for the world". He lives humbly and does not judge others
who are not Buddhist. |
