Appointment to be abbot and learning psychology

In 1931, the villagers surrounding New Pikulthong Temple invited Pramaha Pae Khemangaro to return to his domicile and assume the vacant position of Abbot of New Pikulthong Temple. It was considered that he was sufficiently qualified to take up the challenge to sustain the Buddhist faith.
