I am Dhammadayada Motimo Kenyo. In my profession I am on the faculty of Buddhism, at Ricoh University in Japan. I am a researcher analyzing the Apidhamma or the Buddhist philosophical texts, for over 40 years now. The world outside is contrasting to the world of the Dhamma. From the first day ordained as a Buddhist monk, wearing the golden robes, I thought of myself as newly born to the world, as a new monk. If I want to learn I must be respectful to the teaching and mentor monks, in order to gain their knowledge and wisdom which they have to offer. So, from there on, I happily did as my teachers and mentors asked without any discussions. I came with the noble intention of ordaining in the Japanese Dhammadayada Ordination Program, at the Dhammakaya Temple. It was because I sincerely want to understand Theravada Buddhism, which is a different discipline from my studies. By actually being involved I could learn firsthand, instead of studying it in the text books only. After we ordained, my friends and I, had the opportunity to put into practice, the art of meditation, at Giew Lom Temple in the province of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The temple is spotlessly clean, accommodations cozy, and weather cool, a perfect location for the earnest practice of meditation. We meditated together each day 3 sessions, some sessions were one and a half hours, and some were two hours. The teaching and mentor monks kindly explained to us various principles of the teachings the Buddha. These included the belief of open giving, keeping precepts purely, and regularly practicing meditating.
