TOUR INFORMATION

Alms

• In Buddhism, alms or almsgiving is the respect given by a lay Buddhist to a Buddhist monk. It is not charity as presumed by Western interpreters. It is closer to a symbolic connection to the spiritual realm and to show humbleness and respect in the presence of the secular society.

Temples

• Visit the most historical temples in the centre of Chiang Mai.

Meditation

• Buddhists pursue meditation as part of the path toward liberation, awakening, and nirvana. It includes a variety of meditation techniques, most notably, reflections on repulsiveness, reflection on dependent origination, mindfulness and recollections. Furthermore, it also includes breath meditation, developing an alert and luminous mind and the loving-kindness and compassion. These techniques aim to develop equanimity and mindfulness, concentration, tranquility and insight.
