Spiritual Values & Meditation

The Thai characteristics of respect, compassion, and openness are formed, in great part, from the spiritual values of the Thai people. These spiritual values reflect a complex blend of Buddhism, Brahmanism-Hindusim, and traditional animistic beliefs. Buddhsim, in particular, played a very important role in helping the Thai people to recognize the ever-changing nature of life and develop an attitude of respect and compassion for other beings, humans and non-humans alike.
