Buddhadasa was born in 1906 as Nguam Panich in Phumriang (Chaiya district) in southern Thailand, Buddhadasa Bhikkhu became a bhikkhu or Buddhist monk in 1926. His father, Siang, was a Chinese descendant and a retail store owner in Phumriang. Coming from a family with a firm religious belief, his mother, Kluan, played an important role in forming Buddhadasa's faith in Buddhism years later.
In 1926, at an age of 20, Buddhadas was ordained, to the request of his mother, as a Buddhist monk and adopted the name Indhapanyo, a man of great wisdom, that he held throughout his monkhood. As was expected of young monks at the time, he went to Bangkok to study. However, he found the wats (temples) there dirty, crowded, and, most troubling to him, corrupt. Faced with an unexpected environment in Bangkok, he returned to his hometown and moved into an abandoned temple.
The only monk in the temple, Buddhadasa practiced a simple or pristine form of Buddhism by getting to the heart of the Buddha's message of doing wholesome actions, avoiding harmful actions, and purifying and training the mind. As such, he tried to avoid the ritualism and internal politics which dominated Thai Buddhism at the time. His ability to explain complex philosophical and religious ideas in the Thai vernacular soon attracted many people to his temple
This Dharma Calendar 2007 shows Dharma poem of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu. It’s colorful.
