Thai Culture and Buddhism

Students choose 2 of the following 3 credit courses:

Buddhist Approaches to Healing and Meditation HUM-190
Culture and Change in Thailand AUCX-190

This 2-week study abroad program will take students to Thailand the “land of many smiles.” Nestled in Southeast Asia, Thailand means “land of the free” because it has never been colonized so the country has been able to preserve many of its original cultural characteristics, values, ways, and traditions. Thailand represents a living case study of a non-Western culture that has undergone significant modernization in recent years. Still, with all of its changes, Thailand and its people have managed to retain a traditional cultural perspective, relying on meditative approaches to handle life’s stresses in the 21st Century. Students will  be immersed in a society that is vastly different from their own and examine Buddhist practices, with the intention of ‘awakening’ students about both the world and their own internal nature.
 

The program will take place at Payap University which is a medium-sized institution of 6,000 students, conveniently located in Chiang Mai. Payap offers students a relaxed, safe, and comfortable living space that is easily accessible to shopping districts, restaurants, and downtown Chiang Mai. Housing will be in campus dormitories.

Students will engage in a variety of experiential activities including, visiting schools that use meditation as part of their curriculum, engage in Monk Chat (meet with monks-in-training and monk scholars at various temples), visit an elephant rescue camp and nature preserve, explore the caves of Chiang-Dao and participate in short-term meditation retreats.

 

The program runs for 2 weeks and includes 6 University of Hartford credits, international airfare from JFK, housing, all breakfasts, transportation in-country and scheduled activities.
