Ven.Pra Sripariyattimoli took a picture with some of the mae Jis and laywomen at the 3-month training. |
Mr.Theeradej, with his experience in India, and a person with a deep spiritual concern, was the right person to provide the group with Yoga practice and basic knowledge about the 5 elements and how to care for our bodies. |
During the training the group had to do many activities, this is one of them, crossing the dangerous sea, the idea was to learn to work together. This was a more successful group, the other one had to repeat three times before they could cross the sea. |

Five donchees chosen from 5 different provinces in Cambodia, with Malee as their interpretor. This group was very impressive in their unity and willingness to help with community work. |
