The great abbot is credited with the rediscovery and advancement of a lost form of meditation that expounds from the Vijja Dhamakaya teachings and traditions, which were lost sometime around five-hundred years after the passing of the Lord Buddha. As a result of his teachings, the rediscovered meditation method has spread throughout the globe in recent decades, with many thousands of followers throughout both the Eastern and Western world. The temple is especially famed for its production of the Wat Paknam amulet, which was originally produced by the famed Abbot in the year 1950 (2493 BE). Through the selling of the sacred amulet, the Abbot was able to fund and construct a school on the premises, which teaches meditation methods and the general teachings of the Dhamma.
