Voice Allegedly Linked to Phra Dhammajayo Heard at Wat Phra Dhammakaya
A voice resembling the former abbot of Wat Phra Dhammakaya, who has been absent from public view for nearly a decade, was reportedly heard during a temple ceremony.
According to a report by Thai Post, a voice identified by attendees as sounding like Phra Dhammajayo was heard during a recent ceremony at Wat Phra Dhammakaya. The individual, who has not appeared in public for nearly ten years, allegedly used his signature phrase 'na ja' during the event. However, no visual confirmation of his presence was provided, and he remained unseen by the public. Phra Dhammajayo has been a central figure in the long-standing Klongchan Credit Union Cooperative embezzlement case, which has been investigated by the Department of Special Investigation (DSI). The incident has drawn significant attention due to the proximity of the case's statute of limitations. For residents and visitors, this event highlights the ongoing legal complexities surrounding the temple and its former leadership. It remains to be confirmed whether the voice was indeed that of the former abbot or a recording, and the legal status of the case continues to be a subject of public interest. Authorities have not issued a formal statement regarding the authenticity of the audio or the current whereabouts of the individual.
