Case studiesGood Bye, My Hometown
My employers liked to go to temples and they had very kind hearts.I had a chance to learn about the law of Karma and the truth of life because here DMC was on most of the day.

Case studiesSelling Poverty
My brother in law had kidney failure, but he did not want to have treatment because he wanted to save money to make donations for the kathin ceremony at the hometown temple. He said that my sister wanted to make a donation for this kathin ceremony but she died before she could do it. He was afraid that when he wanted to make a donation, he would also die before having the opportunity. Why is it so difficult to make this merit? "You can see that we have to make merit quickly. We should not wait."

Case studiesWant to cremate her
I am so excited and happy that I finally sat down and wrote up my own case study. If there were no law of karma from other case studies, I would not have a chance to write up my case today. This is because I may be in prison from killing others. Therefore, I would like to send my story to the most graceful person who devotes himself to broadcast brightness to me and others. He is Luang Phaw who I pay most respect.
