The Diana Group’s quarterly “Dharma on Time” television show took a break from its Buddhist sermon format this month to stage a quiz show featuring teams of students competing for scholarships.
Provost Pisarn Jariyapiwat, dean of monks at Chaimongkol Temple, hosted the Feb. 3 contest at the Thai Garden Resort staged with the cooperation of the hotel group and the Banglamung and Sophon cable TV companies.
