Dear Readers,
PS: If you are tempted to criticize these Thai monks, remember Tum, the novice monk in Tumteav, was known for his singing of religious verse, if only we knew how his singing style was...
An anonymous reader brought to our attention this "interesting" form of preaching (ទេសនា) Buddhism in Thailand. Unlike Buddhism in Cambodia, this form Thai religious preaching is apparently quite old and it includes both music (although very basic) and actual singing (at least it sounds like it). As the Romans used to say: "All roads lead to Rome", we thought this preaching may be enlightening to our Compatriots as there are many roads that lead to Buddha/God. Just because we follow one path, that does not mean that there are no other paths that lead us to our faith. Likewise, believing in Buddhism does not necessarily mean that other faith believers are wrong, therefore please be tolerant and respectful to others, just like you would others to be tolerant and respectful to your own faith.
Peace be with you, Shalom, As-Salamu Alaykum!
