Today, 24th December , is the cremation day of Bh Dhammavuḍḍho Hye Mahāthera (). He passed away on 22nd December after a short illness, leaving behind an impressive collection of teachings on Theravada Buddhism and many followers who look up to the Buddha Dhamma as he did&#;as an exemplary renunciant, a money-free and Vinaya-abiding forest monk caring for the Bodhi tree here.
LOCAL MONK
He is an excellent example of a Malaysian monk who worked all his life to plant the Bodhi tree in our own community. He was also a personal Dhamma friend, a junior brother monk then, whom I deeply respect.
He renounced in in the Mahayana order. Disillusioned, three years later, he left this order to become a Theravada monk. Of this experience, he recalled how the Buddha gave up Brahmanism to discover the right and true path for himself.

A Rare Monk
Warren Buffett&#;s story reminds me of Luang Por Dhammavuddho. He is focused. He is persistent. He has perseverance. These are ingredients for success.
Since I knew him in the late s, his theme in the Dhamma has never changed. It is like listening to a great classical music where the theme and its variations keep popping up throughout the piece. This frame
