The qualitative approach was applied to this research study, focusing on documentary research. The primary data was collected from Tipitaka texts and their commentaries. The secondary data was gathered from related textbooks, documents and research works. The results of the study showed that:

1.       The Buddha was the prototype of personal encounter propagation from which the highest advantages were perceived, namely response feedback for the attendants, useful content from the Dhamma. Moreover, the Buddha exposed precisely the quality of propagator, as well as the propagation techniques and the language as the tool of communication.

2.       Phraratchaphromyan or Luang pho rusi lingdam was considered as a distinguished Buddhist venerable who had the hometown in Bang pla ma District, Suphanburi Province. Phraratchaphromyan studied the Buddhism from his family and then studied the meditation from Phrakruwihankitchanikan (Luang pho Parn Sunantho) and many meditation monks until Phraratchaphromyan had the knowledge enough to his demand. Then, Phraratchaphromyan began to propagate his knowledge from his experience and became worshipful to the people. Moreover, Phraratchaphromyan made the most benefit to the Buddhism for all five concrete and abstract concepts: the monastery management, the ecclesiastical education, the educational supporting, the construction in the monasteries and the public supporting.
