+
|
35 |
+
1. "Nak Tham" - Examinations for Buddhist monks and novices
|
36 |
+
2. "Dhamma Studies" (Tham Sueksa) - Examinations for laypeople and general public interested in Buddhist teachings
|
37 |
+
|
38 |
+
Both categories are structured into three levels:
|
39 |
+
- Elementary Level (Chan Tri)
|
40 |
+
- Intermediate Level (Chan Tho)
|
41 |
+
