I spent 24 hours with a Buddhist Monk 🇱🇦

Welcome to an eye-opening journey into the heart of Theravada Buddhism in Vientiane, Laos. Finally checked this off my bucket list as we'll explore a day in the life of a young Buddhist monk, the Venerable Hatsari, who answers all our questions and the acts of devotion that make this ancient practice so unique and intriguing.
