The full name of Pirajak is Mr. Pirajak Tisuthiwongse (Jackson). His former names & pen-names are Pirajak Suwapatdecha, Pittaya Tisuthiwongse, and Pittaya Wong.
Pirajak is a Gold Tara advocate who was born in a Thai Buddhist family
on 6th December 1975. In his younger years, he had been educated
at reputable Catholic Schools since grade 1 to grade 12 (Assumption College,
Thonburi and Assumption Commercial College, Bangkok, respectively). However,
his parents had cultivated Buddhism deeply into his heart by teaching him how
to recite the Buddhist chanting and make merits at Buddhist temples. As a
result, Pirajak had joined his family to make merits at Wat Paknam Temple in
Bangkok, the origin of Dhammakaya Meditation tradition, since his childhood.
After Pirajak completed grade 12 in
Thailand, he furthered his education in the U.S.A. by studying English language
at California State University, Los Angeles, followed by college education at
Pasadena City College. Thereafter, he transferred to the University of
Washington in Seattle where he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics.
After graduation, Pirajak applied to become a fulltime staff of a branch of
Dhammakaya Temple in the U.S.A. with a strong determination to pursue spiritual
life as a religious worker. A couple of years later, Pirajak started to
experience mental disorder called ‘schizophrenia’ which caused him to return to
Thailand for periodic psychiatric treatments. However, as a schizophrenia
patient, Pirajak was able to continue his post graduate education in Thailand
and earn a Master's Degree in Translation Art & Science at Thammasat
University, a prominent university in Bangkok, with the GPA of 3.76 and a
published academic thesis, but he finally returned his Master’s Degree diploma
to his scholarship provider to prevent possible disputes.
In term of working life, since 1995, Pirajak
had worked for Dhammakaya Temple / Foundation for many years, as a fulltime
staff in the beginning and, later on, as a volunteer, but he decided to resign
his membership and discipleship in 2012 in order to run his own projects by
collaborating with senior meditation masters of Wat Paknam Temple and other
branches of Wat Paknam such as Wat Luang Phor Sodh Dhammakayaram and Suan Kaew
Meditation Centre in Rajaburi Province, Thailand. As such, Pirajak
formally applied to become a registered member of Wat Paknam Alumni [Disciple]
Association and became an active devout of Wat Paknam as well as other branches
of Wat Paknam according to the aforesaid. (Dhammakaya Temple/Foundation
are not officially enlisted as a branch of Wat Paknam in Bangkok).
Soon after Pirajak earned his
Master’s Degree in 2012, he entered an ordination to become a Buddhist monk at
Wat Paknam in Bangkok given the monastic name 'Dhammavidhu,' having His
Holiness Somdet Phramaharatchamangkhalachan (Chuang Varapunyo), Pali Scholar
Level 9, the former acting Supreme Patriarch of Thailand and the present abbot
of Wat Paknam Temple, as his preceptor. Pirajak spent around six months in
monkhood, and he returned home in Bangkok to disrobe and take care of his aging
parents. Although Pirajak lives as a secular, he accepts the Gold Tara
ethics and prefers continuing his celibacy practice throughout his life, since
he was born until the present, similar to what a Buddhist monk would do, partially
due to the motivation from ‘bipolar disorder’ and 'mania episode' which makes him strongly
appreciate the ‘purity’ from celibacy rather than the sexual relationship which
he regards as ‘impurity.’
From his experience in the monkhood
and Dhamma practicing & learning, he authored books and articles related to
Buddhism as well as translating several books and articles on Dhammakaya
Meditation from Thai to English with an aim to share Buddhist teachings and
Vijja Dhammakaya Meditation to English speakers all over the world in order to
promote peace and harmony among humankind as a non-profit activity whereas
Pirajak has strongly insisted to refuse any form of donation and monetary
benefit for himself except the passive fundraising for charity-organisations
enlisted on his website of which donations can be made directly to the
organisations without Pirajak’s involvement.
For more than a decade of Pirajak’s
suffering from schizophrenia symptom, he disclosed to his psychiatrist that his
‘good side’ and ‘dark side’ kept arguing and competing each other.
Pirajak has continued practicing Buddhism and endured over his mental disorder
by screening almost every single thought and rejecting the ‘dark side’ repeatedly,
over and over, until the ‘good side’ finally ‘prevails’ when Pirajak gave up
his vow to be a Bodhisattva (a Buddha-to-be) and consequently attained the primary Buddhist
Sainthood instead.
Hence, with such overcoming and good
knowledge and understanding in Buddhism, Pirajak started to discover and
develop many extraordinary supramundane expressions on Buddhist teachings and
understandings such as the Equation of Time, Time Machine Theorem,
Dhammotronics, Dhammonomics, Pirajak’s Translation & Interpretation
Theorem, Pittaya’s Evolutionary Theory, Top Quotes, articles, commentaries,
publications, translations, interpretations, inventions, symbolic drawings, and
innovations which are made available for studying and learning, free of charge,
on www.meditation101.org.
After Pirajak disrobed from his
monkhood, he became a loyalist to Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri
Sirindhorn of Thailand who kindly granted Pirajak an opportunity to join Her in
contributing ideas to solving problems and developing the Kingdom of Thailand
in many aspects including education, socio-politics, economics, agriculture, national
security, technology, art & culture, and Buddhism.
For myself, I aim towards selfly
cultivation.
For others, I aim towards selfless
devotion.
