What about volunteering in Thailand?
i have a wat i work with. they have helped me greatly and when i go there in person this year, i’m planning to offer to help them with anything they may need a hand with.
is it really true you can’t help monks and practice merit as a farang? it’s against the law?
how does this on any way protect thai workers and how is this even appropriate? i thought wats and monks were given some special preference. how can they deprive them of farang helping them out around the wat?
Seems kinda un-Buddhist
Edit: i’m kind of bummed out how this thread is going. Nobody knows what they’re talking about first of all, second, people aren’t even reading what I wrote or getting the right idea of what happened. I’m talking to my teacher who is ordained at the temple, I’m trying to go help out at. They thought it was a great idea to help out, and give some merit that way as well as the money I already give. So drop all these weird posts please with all the bizarre assumptions
