Monks Building a Meditation Hall in the Forest

This video lets you peer into the intricate process of building a beautiful bamboo meditation hall on a river in the mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Follow along the entire journey from the point that the Thai villagers collect local materials to seeing monks meditate in the completed structure. This activity gives you an opportunity to see the relationship between the locals, lay supporters, and Buddhist monks. This beautiful off grid River Hall was constructed to give retreat participants and the Sangha community a space to meditate out in the middle of the forest by the river. #monks #monk #meditation

This project supported the local economy and was made possible by the generosity of the following donors: Mike Howard, Islene Almondes, Bee and Nat Intakanok, Tipawan Khemboonlert, Panyavee Khan, Nena Nimityongskul, Joe Cavallaro, Hannah Tu, Nicholas Liusuwan, and Gil Braum. We rejoice in your merit!

This video is dedicated in loving memory of Attapol Kalu who was one of the workers who helped with the construction of this meditation hall. He passed away on 20 March 2021. Your warm smile will not be forgotten. May you rest in peace.
