A Novice Monk Making Candles in the Forest

Wed, 11 Nov 2020 06:56:18 +0000

The monk life is simple. We are constantly training our minds to be still both inside and outside. In this video, our novice monk Alex makes candles using items from the forrest at the Papae Meditation Retreat in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He collects all the leftover candles, cuts them up, melts them, and reusing them to make new and beautiful. To create the outer shell for the candle making, he uses bamboo which is a resource of the forest. He pours the hot candle wax in the bamboo chute and lets to cool down overnight. Once done, he cracks it open, cleans it up and offers it to the Buddha and uses it for his meditation. We hope you enjoy this simple candle making video from our novice monk. #candlemaking

History of Theravada Buddhism: Very Old and Very New

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 05:07:52 +0000

Theravāda Buddhism can be seen both as very old and very new. We'll go over the ways Theravāda has roots in the earliest forms of Buddhism, as well as the way it may be a very recent form of religious identity. This is a huge topic and so the video should only be seen as the barest introduction!
