SOMETHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAILAND is a land of Theravada Buddhism
IT IS
one of
if not the main thing
Khat keeps me here
THE FOUNDATION of the practice
is SILA 🙏
OR percepts
that include:
no Killing
no STEALING
No LYING
Have a decent sexual behavior
No taking INTOXICANT
I'm insisting on this because it seems that Thailand also attract a lot of PARTY KIDS
I've had a few here 🤔
That didn't seem to understand these values !!?
of course 🤗
here is not a meditation center Or a monastery
And nobody's expecting you to follow these rules EXACTLY
BUT here's an idea of what I PERSONALLY am trying to follow
and we expect you coming here to be at least respectful of THAT ETHIC
That is not just grab anything as if you were in your own house.
Do not behave in the house like it was yours
Or your parents.
JUST CONSIDER THAT
the fact that we not asking for payment for volunteering
AS THE CASE IS
IN MOST PLACES
IN Thailand
Doesn't mean everything is free.
The last very important thing I get up at 4/5 AM
IN The morning and do my meditation
that means that I also GO
To sleep quite early in the evening
I'll expect you
not to have any invasive or noisy activity
loud conversation
or play music or So
in the evening -
