Dhammachai Day
Day of Victory
On August 27, 1969, Chaiyaboon Suddhipol was ordained at Wat Paknam Bhasicharoen, Bangkok and was given the monastic name “Dhammajayo”, which means “The Victor through Dharma”. He had a strong determination to dedicate his life to Buddhism and guide the world to find true happiness that comes from Dhamma within. This intention was reaffirmed later in the statement he made at Pa Dum, Chiang Mai:
‘O angels of Pa Dum! Be my witness.
I, wearer of these saffron robes, the banner of the enlightened Arahants, the banner of the Supreme Dhamma that is free from cruelty, plant this banner of purity here in my heart. Upon these mountain tops of splendor, dwelling place of great lords, I declare to all:
I shall dedicate my life as sacrifice to Buddhism, to ripen my perfections to full fruition, to release all people and beings from the shackles of suffering. For as long as the worlds’ beings have not yet all entered Nirvana, I shall remain here, to beat the Drum of Dhamma, to wander and teach the world’s beings, and I shall enter Nirvana as the last.
May all living beings live in peace and harmony.’
