Chulalongkornrajavidyalaya University, one of Thailand's leading and oldest state Buddhist universities, has been conducting a specialized training program for Buddhist monks engaged in Dhamma missionary activities for the past ten years. Today, a certificate-awarding ceremony is taking place for a group of monks who have successfully completed this decade-long training program.

Ven. Dr. Bodagama Chandima Thera, Vice Chancellor of the NIIBS Campus, had the opportunity to deliver one of the lectures for this program yesterday. The event was attended by the university deans, including Professor Ven. Walmoruwe Piyarathana Thero, along with other members of the academic staff.

A distinctive feature of this program is that all monks who successfully complete the training are granted diplomatic passports by the Government of Thailand, enabling them to engage in international missionary work.

Additionally, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is currently in effect between the Nāgānanda International Institute for Buddhist Studies (NIIBS) and Chulalongkornrajavidyalaya University. This MoU fosters academic cooperation and collaboration between the two institutions.
