Luangpu Sodh, Wat Pak Nam, Bangkok
Brief Biography:
Luangpu Sodh Candasaro (10 October 1884 � 3 February 1959), also known as Phramongkolthepmuni, the abbot of Wat Pak Nam Bhasicharoen, was the founder of the Thai Dhammakaya meditation school in 1916. As the former abbot of Wat Pak Nam Bhasicharoen, he is often called Luangpu Wat Pak Nam, meaning 'the Venerable Father of Wat Pak Nam'. He became a well-known meditation master during World War I and World War II, and played a significant role in developing Thai Buddhism during that period. He is considered by the Dhammakaya Movement to have rediscovered Vijja Dhammakaya, a meditation method believed to have been used by the Buddha himself. Since the 2000s, some scholars have pointed out that Luangpu Sodh also played an important role in introducing Theravada Buddhism in the West, a point previously overlooked.
The attainment of the Dhammakaya:
Although Phra Candasaro had studied with many masters, and had mastered many important Pali texts, he was not satisfied. He withdrew himself in the more peaceful area of his hometown twice. Some sources state he also withdrew himself in the jungles to meditate more, but Newell doubts this. In the eleventh rains retreat (vassa) after his ordination, in 1916, he stayed at Wat Botbon at Bangkuvieng, Nonthaburi Province. Wat Botbon was the temple where he used to receive education as a child, a temple known for its peacefulness. As seen from Luangpu Sodh's autobiographical notes, he reflected to himself that he had been practicing meditation for many years and had still not understood the essential knowledge which the Buddha had taught. Thus, on the full-moon day in the tenth lunar month of 1916, he sat down in the main shrine hall of Wat Botbon, resolving not to waver in his practice of sitting meditation, whatever might disturb his single-mindedness. That same night he experienced in meditation what became known as the attainment of the Dhammakaya, which marked the start of Dhammakaya meditation as a tradition.
Convinced that he had attained to the core of the Buddha's teaching, Phra Candasaro started a new chapter in his life. Phra Candasaro devoted the rest of his life to teaching and furthering the depth of knowledge of Dhammakaya meditation, a meditation method which he also called "Vijja Dhammakaya", 'the direct knowledge of the Dhammakaya'. Temples in the tradition of Wat Pak Nam Bhasicharoen, together called the Dhammakaya Movement, believe that this method was the method the Buddha originally used to attain Enlightenment, but was lost five hundred years after the Buddha passed away. The event of the attainment of the Dhammakaya is usually described by the Dhammakaya movement in miraculous and cosmic terms. For example, it is mentioned that heavy rains preceded the event.
