Buddhism spiritual practice added value to our life
and about Buddhism in thailand, While Thailand is currently a constitutional monarchy, it inherited a strong Southeast Asian tradition of Buddhist kingship that tied the legitimacy of the state to its protection and support for Buddhist institutions.

Lol, Talen, there is more to me than shallow obsessions, contrary to popular opinion.

If I were to practice a religion, it would probably be Buddhism.

In Thailand there is only 1 legitimate female Buddhist monk although there is a movement to change this. Females that wish to follow the order can become nuns and don the white robes.

In your case I don’t think you’d survive shaving your head or wearing white after labor day

Namo Buddhaya, greetings from Indonesia

The 5 precepts are the basic teachings of all Buddhas, so by doing them all we also have doing all the teachings.

Metta Cittena,
May all beings are in happiness

A lot of Buddhist’s such as the Mahayana Buddhists have given this practice up since they are not in a climate that has a rainy season.

And although it is undertaken by many followers they really only try to maintain the 5 precepts.

Is it just in Thailand, or the Lent applies to all the Buddhist in the world?

I am glad you’re still able to blog! =)

The lent season applies to monks in terms of not traveling but all Buddhists should try to maintain the 5 precepts.

The candle procession is a public celebration.

I have always been interested in Buddhism, it seems like it is a peaceful religion.

That was quite interesting. Does the lent season apply only to the monks and not to the people? Also, does a public celebration take place at the beginning of the lent or is it taken place privately within the group of monks in the temple.
It is always nice to learn of others cultures and religions. thanks for posting this article.
