# Talk:Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro

I note spelling differences between the name used for the page title, "Phramongkolthepmuni", and from places in the body of the article, where it is spelled, "Phramonkhonthepmuni".  Is this intentional?  I have no knowledge to share on the subject, just noticed the difference when searching for info about the monk.

Both spellings may be used, since there are no standards for transliterating Thai honorific names, but for consistency, i have corrected all the names that didn't agree with the page title. Thanks for mentioning this.S Khemadhammo (talk) 22:12, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Pending any objections, I propose to change the name of this Wikipedia page to Luang Pu Wat Paknam, for reasons mentioned in the talk page of Phrathepyanmahamuni.S Khemadhammo (talk) 02:14, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
I have no proposed a new title Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro, since this name is better known in Thailand. I have posted this on the proposed name page.S Khemadhammo (talk) 20:16, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Scholars have given different years for important events in the life of Luang Pu Sodh. Below is an attempt at comparison, that I will be updating regularly, to come to a consensus on the correct dates. See also Talk:Dhammakaya meditation#Disputed. I will restrict this comparison to secondary sources.

Hello Wikiman5676 and other contributors,
I am nominating the article for a Did You Know? entry on the Wikipedia front page. Here's a few I came up with:
Did you know...

...that the monk Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro played a significant role in reviving Thai Buddhism?
...that followers of the monk Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro hold that he discovered the original meditation method that the Buddha used to attain enlightenment?
...Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro ordained the first Englishman in Thailand as a Buddhist monk?
...the ordination of three British men as Buddhist monks in Thailand in 1956, led by the abbot Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro, attracted an audience of 10,000 people?
...Kapilavaḍḍho, the first Englishman ordained as a Buddhist monk in Thailand, is believed to have set up the first Theravāda community in Britain?
Let me know what you guys think. We only have a week.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 23:16, 6 June 2017 (UTC)
Minor edit.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 23:25, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

10,000 people one seems the most interesting. Though I really wish someone would make a "Did you know that the Dhammakaya movement and Wat Phra Dhammakaya is not the same thing?" a lot of ppl including journalists dont seem to know this. Wikiman5676 (talk) 02:42, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Wikiman5676, thanks for your input. That difference is not mentioned in Luang Pu Sodh's article, but I'll keep it in mind. --Farang Rak Tham (talk) 07:35, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Display name 99, any opinion about the DYK suggestions i made? --Farang Rak Tham (talk) 07:38, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

Farang Rak Tham, I have no experience with DYK nominations. However, I seem to think that you would have the best chance with the 2nd and 3rd things listed. Display name 99 (talk) 12:59, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Okay, I have listed them all. Let's see if any of them passes.--Farang Rak Tham (talk) 18:01, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
