What is an example of a Wat that GSC places overseas volunteers at?
The primary host wat located about two hours west of Bangkok is an excellent placement for GSC participants who wish to truly immerse themselves in Buddhist culture and tradition and further their knowledge of the Buddhist religion. This wat is a beautiful temple complex containing numerous ordination halls and temple buildings on 33 acres of land. Approximately 200 monks and 70 novice monks live, worship, and study at the wat. While at the wat, GSC Thailand volunteers are supervised by a PhD American monk who has been living at the temple for over three years and is bilingual. He leads volunteers in up to three meditation sessions throughout the day. Volunteers are also able to observe and participate in morning and evening meditation and chanting with monks at the temple.
