The Phra Dhammakaya temple celebrates the Buddhist holy day of Makha Bucha with a mass candle light vigil ofaround 100,000 monks and lay people. Wat Phra Dhammakaya was founded by Khun Yay, a Buddhist nun, in 1970 after her masters death. Her aim was to set up a temple to see the continual growth of the Dhammakaya tradition and established the temple with vision of a sanctuary for peaceful spiritual practice a refuge in the midst of a turbulent world. The temple was to become a centre for international meditation study and now has millions of members worldwide and centres from Los Angeles to London to Sydney. In the late 1990's after a string of allegations of embezzlement of millions the temple started to perform mass ceremonies which every year increased in number up to this day where it performs ordinations of 100,000 monks and mass meditation ceremonies of half a million people.
