Meditation Retreat Programmes for Foreigners : หน้า 70/232

Meditation Retreat Programmes for Foreigners Luang Phaw Dhammajayo’s vision is not to bring happiness to only Thai people, but also to the world at large. He always mentions that people of this world should have an equal opportunity to attain happiness regardless of their race, religion, language, nationality or culture. In February 2006, he initiated a meditation retreat programme entitled, “The Middle Way” to which foreigners can apply online through “www.meditationthai.org”. Only a year after this programme started, the programme has provided meditation instruction to more than 300 people from 32 countries. At the conclusion of the programme, participants have a better understanding of the benefits of meditation. They experience inner happiness as never before, and resolve to keep practising meditation regularly after the programme has ended. Many of them believe in his goal and share Luang Phaw Dhammajayo’s vision and become a part of his team to bring about world peace through meditation.
