Buddhists have pride in their ancient religion and strong tradition. My religious beliefs aside, I appreciate their dedication and sacrifice. I have been fortunate enough to visit monasteries and interact with the charming monks. Doi Suthep is a temple that sits atop a vast mountain in Chiang Mai. Walking the grounds I came across a monk who performed a sacred blessing upon me. He tied a white string around my wrist as I knelt, while drops of blessed water fell upon my head. Definitely an experience I'll always remember.
