31  The study of the Buddha’s teachings

What led you to the study of the Buddha’s teachings?

When I first came to Thailand I was naturally interested in knowing more about the Thai people. I wanted to learn more about their customs and their way of thinking. I found the study of Buddhism essential for the understanding of the Thai culture because the spiritual background of the Thai people is Buddhism. Therefore I started to study Buddhism and the more I studied, the more I found my interest growing. When o­ne is in Thailand o­ne should take the opportunity to study Buddhism and to try to understand the practice of Buddhism as well. Deep understanding will not come from books alone. Understanding is developed above all by the practice, by the application of the Buddhist teachings in daily life!
