Thai students are challenging their nation’s quest to shatter the world meditation record with a staggering one million young minds. Amidst this peaceful protest, they argue that this pursuit might tread on the sacred grounds of religious freedom.

 

The Facebook page Bad Students (นักเรียนเลว), which is well-known among Thai students, announced yesterday, October 24, that many schools across the country had asked students to take part in a campaign called Meditation for World Peace.

 

According to the Facebook announcement, the campaign aims to invite one million people to meditate to promote world peace, make better changes and promote Thailand as a Buddhist country.
