"Chang" Quote of the Week: V


Chang is the essence of life.Be willing to surrender what you are for what you could become.
-Unknown

My week of teaching is about over! Tomorrow morning I am going to Wat Phra That Panhom, a temple, with some students for a 3 day meditation retreat. It is a very famous temple in Thailand and so I am looking forward to spending some time there. I am very excited to learn about their religion and hopefully one of the monks will speak English so we can have some conversations about what Buddhism is and how it compares with Christianity. One of my majors in college was Religion so I take every opportunity to discuss religion with anyone who is interested. I have talked about Buddhism with some local people around me but it is hard to have in depth discussions about religion when you can only speak a little bit of the same language. So I am hoping that since this is a famous temple that one of the monks will speak fluently in English.

After the meditation retreat, its off to celebrate the Fourth of July with the other volunteers!
