Welcome to Thawsi School,
Bangkok, Thailand. We are a small Buddhist
School in the heart of Bangkok city. We aim to
teach and train our children to know the meaning
of wisdom
in Buddhism. We teach children
how to learn, how to enjoy learning, to love wisdom
for its own sake. Buddhist wisdom teaches the
emotional maturity enabling them to make use of
their knowledge to create a happy life for themselves
and their family and to contribute positively
to the society in which they live. It in no way
compromises on the work of preparing children
to make a good livelihood, but it lets them see
that life is deeper and richer than working in
order to consume. |

Since
Thawsi school’s medium of instruction is mainly in Thai, this
web page in English is aimed to provide information and resources
on the following:
1)
Buddhist education where we rely heavily on the teachings of
Venerable Phra Brahmagunabhorn (P. A. Payutto) and Ajahn Jayasaro.
2)
More general work on Buddhism and dhamma practice based on the
teachings of Venerable Ajahn Chah and his monastic disciples
of the Thai Forest
Tradition.

“Passing on with Grace,” an article by
Karnjariya Sukrung in the Outlook Section of The
Bangkok Post on 25th November 2007, is a very
well written article about a fascinating topic,
i.e., “how to die in peace with full awareness.”
Particularly interesting is the major role attributed
to “insight meditation.” As we are dedicated to
Buddhist education and study and practice of Buddhism
in general, we would like to share this insightful
writing about such an admirable Professor and
Doctor Sumalee Nimmannit, who passed away in peace
with full awareness. By courtesy of
the Outlook Section of The Bangkok Post and
thanks are due to Khun Karnjariya Sukrung, the
author of the article.
