Cock-fight
He watched a special report in DMC about the closedown of a cock-fight gambling den in Saraburi province. This made he think of his father who liked to collect the Buddha images, gambled cock-fight and watched Thai-boxing because his dad was a boxer. What retributions caused his father to be sick and went in and out of the hospital for 5 years? What retributions caused him to have eye surgery, cirrhosis, vomit blood-clots, hiccup with the sound “cock-a-doodle-doo”, and difficulty in eating and drinking water?
Singburi Woman
I was the first women to pedal a 3-wheeled pedicab in Singburi. I worked until a car crashed into me and injured my left leg. I had to stop pedaling the 3-wheeler. What demerit has caused me to have a difficult life since childhood And even now I am still in difficult circumstances. But why do others see me as having a comfortable and prosperous life? The fire which occurred at the house went out on its own. Was it because of help from the great Dhammakaya teachers?

The Bachelorette
Every first Sunday of each month and on the days the temple had big ceremonies; and every time I attended the ceremony of offering sustenance to the Lord Buddha and of other big merit of the temple, I made wishes “May I own a house with land and a car.” Later on, my grandfather bought me a car when I did not even ask him for it. And a couple surprised things that happened to me. All my wishes were accomplished. This incident seriously strengthens my faith in merit.

My mother was doing better business for 10 years.Until one day, Korkaew was in her dream and told her that “I will go to dig gold in Saudi Arabia, and I will bring it to you for wealth.” Since then he never showed up in her dreams again.
Thai Youth In The High Tech Era
Very often I felt like surrendering and didn’t understand why the more merit I made the more degrading my life was until I became penniless. I felt as if I was in the dark. However, no matter how bad it was I would not give in and I chose to fight to my death. I changed from being downhearted to taking up the challenge. Finally I found out the best solution was not to think about it and to motivate myself to keep on making merit with an assurance that one day the merit will certainly yield fruit.
Good 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. Dhamma teachings were heard through the whole house including the morning and evening chanting and the Cetiya’s homage paying.
What kind of knowledge does Buddhism provide for their benefit?
My students often ask the question that when other school subjects they study provide them with various types of knowledge regarding managing the Four Basic Requisites in their everyday lives, then what kind of knowledge does Buddhism provide for their benefit?
