Episode 112: Olivia Sanwong - A Walking Conversation Around the Thai Temple Grounds.
Description
Join us on a reflective stroll around the grounds of the local Thai Temple (Wat Buddhanusorn) in Niles. We talk about the deep cultural roots and the art of meditation that unite a diverse community. We'll peek into the lives of Buddhist monks, gain insights into their spiritual routines, and celebrate the heartwarming tradition of community members offering food—each morsel a symbol of shared respect and faith.
Step into a world where the Thai community vibrantly thrives through language, music, and dance. We chat with a new monk who encapsulates the essence of dedication, from tending gardens to imparting the wisdom of Buddhism to inquisitive visitors. Together, we'll traverse the crossroads of cultural exchange, where traditional Thai puppet shows captivate audiences, weaving tales that have echoed through generations.
This episode reveals interconnectedness and experiences highlighting the strength and beauty of communal bonds shared at Wat Buddhanusorn. Tune in to celebrate the diversity of our bonds and the heritage that enriches the Bay Area's multiracial tapestry.
