Tania, the Argentinian Girl, Visits Our Community

December 13, 2024

On the 4th of this month, our Thai community welcomed Tania, a young woman from Argentina. Like many other visitors, she found that traditional lifestyles and works could not fulfill her quest for self-realization. Over the past three years, she has traveled as a volunteer across South America, Europe, and Asia, immersing herself in the lives and cultures of people from different regions to seek personal growth and learning.

Tania shared that what benefited her most during her journey was the opportunity to connect with and understand the lives and real needs of people in different places. This broadened her perspective and helped her break free from the limitations of her small personal circle and self-centeredness, enabling her to care about more than just herself, her family, and her friends. This desire for deeper connection is what drives her commitment to exploring the world.

She is warm, easygoing, kind, and compassionate, making it easy to feel close to her. Her broad knowledge and high spirituality were evident in every conversation. Whether learning about our community's way of life or discussing Greatest Creator and lifechanyuan values, she approached every topic with an open and positive mindset.

Tania spent five wonderful days living in our Thai Home, experiencing collective gardening, home-building, and the harmony of our daily routines. A yoga enthusiast, she also developed an interest in chanyuan exercises, starting each day with morning exercises to embrace gratitude and energize spirit.

She praised our lifestyle as orderly, warm, and harmonious, noting how every member labors with a sense of fulfillment, peace, and a constant smile. Tania expressed her happiness at having had the chance to be a part of our big family, even if only for a short time.

On her last evening, we gathered in the Hall to chat, play games, and dance. Tania led us in South American dance, sharing its free-spirited and passionate energy with us. We are deeply grateful to this vibrant friend for the warmth，joy and vitality she brought to our community during her stay.

This week, thanks to the collective efforts of Brother Fo, Brother Long, and everyone else, we successfully completed the cement flooring of six houses and the main hall stage, along with an upgrade to the gate at the entrance. Due to the technical requirements of laying cement floors, the kitchen duties were taken over by Yulin.Meanwhile, Roumei busied herself at the construction site and in the vegetable fields, working late into the night almost every evening alongside Fo Yi, Qian Long, and Yang Le.


Their passion and selfless dedication to building our home are truly admirable and inspiring, but it also makes us wish they could get proper rest and maintain a balance between work and well-being.
