Biography of Mae Chee Bhum

Her name is Thanyalak Ranok. She is 45 years old and was born in Lopburi Province.

She grew up in a relatively poor family. As a child, she lived with her grandparents because her parents separated when she was seven years old. Her grandfather was devoted to temple activities and taught her about making merit. Whenever there was an opportunity, she would offer alms to monks, and on Buddhist holy days, she would bring food to the temple and chant prayers every evening. She found great joy and peace in chanting.

She completed Grade 6 in Lopburi and later moved to Nakhon Ratchasima to live with relatives. She pursued vocational studies in Business Computer in Nakhon Ratchasima, later working and starting a family.

In 2016, she began listening to Buddhawajana (Buddha’s words) and, by 2021, started practicing Dhamma seriously. She attended meditation retreats in Chanthaburi, continuing her practice until 2024.

In 2024, she discovered online teachings by Kruba Chaiwat. After listening to his teachings, she felt a deep desire to pay respects to him. Eventually, she decided to ordain at Wat Pa Raksa Jai in Muak Lek District, Saraburi Province.

Finally, she shares this guiding principle with everyone:
"Having the opportunity to be born as a human is precious. One should not be careless, as being born human is incredibly rare."
