Death
Phra Mongkhonthepmuni was taken ill in 1956. He brought the work of the meditation workshop to an end by dismissing all of the meditators except four or five of the most devoted nuns including Chandra Khonnokyoong and Thongsuk Samdaengpan. It was these nuns who were heirs to the oral tradition of Dhammakāya when Phramongkolthepmuni died in 1959, aged seventy-five.

“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky?
