 In year 1984 (BE 2529) with the sponsorship from Mong Phong Village, Tachilek. Kruba BoonChum received higher ordination, upasampada, at the seven hundred years old Wat SuanDok (Flowers Garden) Monastery in Chiang Mai. To symbolize the teaching of the Buddha on the 38 kinds of blessings, 38 monks were invited to participate in the ordination ceremony. Since his higher ordination and out of respect for his meditation practices, he came to be known as Kruba BoonChum. Kruba is means teacher and is synonymous with Phra Ajahn in Thai and Sayadaw in Burmese. His ordained name in Pali is Nyanasamvaro, “who guards his mind with wisdom”. In Burmese, he is known as Mong Phong Sayadaw.
