Indian Youth Tanuz Visits Thai Branch Again with His Parents

July 24, 2025

In April this year, Tanuz, a young environmental PhD student from India, visited the Thai branch of Lifechanyuan to experience life in the Second Home. The natural, relaxed, and joyful lifestyle of the community, along with the warm hospitality of the Thai brothers and sisters, left a deep and unforgettable impression on him. Before leaving, he said he would return to visit the Thai branch again. Three months later, he kept his promise and returned—this time bringing along his parents.

The respected couple traveled all the way from India to Thailand, solely to experience life in the Second Home. Their enthusiasm and sincerity deeply moved us.

Tanuz's mother is a gentle, well-educated, and graceful woman. She has always had a strong interest in community living and had previously visited other communities in India. She resonates with Lifechanyuan’s vision of “uniting all religions into One” and is also a practitioner, striving to align her thoughts, words, and actions with the laws of the universe. This kind-hearted mother personally prepared a delicious Indian meal for the brothers and sisters in the community. With her artistic talent, she also sang beautiful Indian songs for everyone.

Although they only stayed for three days, her face was filled with happiness and joy every single day. She expressed how delighted she was to be here. While helping to shell lotus seeds, she sincerely remarked that working here felt extremely comfortable and pleasant. I could fully understand the peace, tranquility, and sense of belonging she felt—embraced by nature and surrounded by loving brothers and sisters.

Before leaving, she presented Lifechanyuan with special gifts—a scarf and decorative cap symbolizing respect and love, similar to the traditional Tibetan Hada. These tokens were filled with her blessings and heartfelt affection, representing her deep admiration and love for Lifechanyuan and the community members.

Even though it was just three short days, the farewell was full of tender reluctance. The tears in her eyes as she departed touched our hearts and made us long for the next reunion. May this beautiful and pure friendship and affinity continue to blossom in the Second Home in the days to come.

In addition, July 10th was the birthday of Longpao Buddha. As in previous years, we were invited by Longpao to the temple, dressed in white lay robes, to celebrate his birthday. Yulin, our kitchen master, made a special birthday cake for him. Our brothers and sisters sang and danced joyfully, offering blessings that brought laughter and delight to Longpao Buddha.
