The Main Chapel was completed in 1982 and the ceremony for the allocation of the chapel boundary (sima) was held three years later.While the temple was under construction, the Dhammadayada ordination scheme gave training to hundreds of university students, a steadily increasing number of whom swelled the number of residents in the temple community, numbering 200 monks and 200 novices, 90 laymen and 160 laywomen in the present day. At the same time, congregations on Sundays and major religious festivals reached 20,000, necessitating the construction of Sapha Dhammakaya Hall, presently the centre for ceremonies.

The use of modern technology to present traditional teachings in a way that responds to the needs of those in contemporary society: Since the outset of the Dhammakaya tradition, the inner peace of meditation has reflected an aspiration to cultivate peace in the world at large. It has been obvious that the work involved requires more than just a temple organized by monks. For this reason, the temple has grown together with its supporting organization, the Dhammakaya Foundation to facilitate a broader base of activities by the public and participation by lay members of the congregation.
