What’s it like to spend a couple days with a Buddhist monk? In Chiang Mai, I signed up for a meditation retreat that didn’t go quite as planned, but turned into one of the most fascinating experiences of my trip. From learning about the 227 monk rules to chatting about love, trees, and kindness, this episode dives deep into Thai Buddhism and mindfulness.  Then, with Gayle Lennox as my guest, we'll also talk about the many ways to learn about Buddhism and meditation in and around this city in Northern Thailand.
