On Saturday and Sunday, September 27 and 8, 2003, practitioners from the Bangkok Center and other parts of Thailand held a successful Thai vegetarian food exhibition in Baan Sawangthum Chachengxiow Province, approximately one hour’s drive from Bangkok. This location is also used for two-day retreats and is full of greenery and flora, making the surroundings look fresh and bright.

The event was organized in the traditional Thai manner, conveying a relaxed atmosphere, and featuring a variety of Thai vegetarian main courses and desserts offered free of charge. In addition, an exhibition of Thai fruit and vegetable carvings added a delicate and beautiful touch. All the utensils were carefully selected with environmental concerns in mind, and some food containers were constructed of easily disposable banana leaves beautifully wrapped according to Thai artistic customs. All the initiates in attendance wore traditional Thai costumes, which adding to the festive atmosphere.

The delectable vegetarian food was delicately and artistically prepared and thus received high praise from all the guests. Also, Master’s video tapes were played in the meditation hall so that everyone had a chance to receive healthy food for both body and soul.

Through this event, Thai initiates once again had the opportunity to participate in the valuable work of spreading Master’s teachings and thus develop themselves in a spirit of devoted service.
