The Diana Group hosted a “mind healing project” to
help ease the stress of Thai flood victims and others concerned about
the crisis.
Abbot Phra Cholyamunee from Wat Uthukepsimaram led
prayers for flood evacuees hosted by Diana Group Managing Director Sopin
Thappajug at the Diana Garden Resort Nov. 8. Sopin also presented the
monk with a donation of food and necessities for flood victims.
Phra Cholyamunee performed evening prayers and
preached a sermon to urge evacuees and those concerned by the flooding
to remain calm and not lament the losses of material possessions. Those
can be remade or repurchased, he said. If the mind is lost, however,
everything in life will be lost too, he said.
The abbot encouraged victims to fight obstacles in
life and said their problems will pass soon.
The program was part of the Diana Group’s ongoing
“Dharma on Time” initiative in which Buddhist lecturers host televised
sermons and spread the teachings of the Lord Buddha.
