Developing mental power to become self-reliant healers
....ThailandIFF (Thailand International Folklore Festival) aims to develop people to have a peaceful mind. Starting with artists first, because "being an artist", these people have a special ability to create an image for themselves as a role model for society. They can quickly create a trend to instill new values. They can lead people to follow their own teachings and create morals for the community.
.....Over the past 20 years, ThailandIFF has tried to bring activities for international visiting artists or participants to learn how to take care of themselves by practicing mindfulness according to their breath while dancing on stage and practicing meditation alternately.
.....We have organized activities to alternately practice mindfulness on stage and meditate in temples or quiet places during the day for 6 days, which has created a moral teaching "FOLKLORE FOR PEACE" for international artists and various communities in Thailand until achieving some success.
.....Many monks have said that fasting is a form of religious devotion and is an activity that is connected to world peace.
...... Fasting is an important part of Hinduism and is often done on various occasions such as festivals, ceremonies, and other important religious events. Fasting is a way to purify the mind, body and soul and receive blessings from the gods.
It is also believed to be a way to show devotion and faith to the gods. For example, during the festival of Navratri, Hindus fast for 9 days to worship and pay homage to the 9 deities of the goddess Durga. Similarly, during the festival of Maha Shivaratri,
Hindus fast for the whole day to seek blessings from Lord Shiva. Fasting during festivals is believed to increase devotion and attachment to the divine. This is consistent with Islam having the festival of Ramadan and Buddhism having the festival of Lent.
........ Therefore, the tradition of fasting in the Hindu month of Navratri, the Islamic Ramadan and the festival of Buddhist Lent should be spread.
......In addition, the Christian fasting ritual is mentioned in the Bible that Saints Abraham, Moses and Jesus all fasted for 40 days. There are also practices that are passed down according to the specific traditions of each group (1, 2 or 40 days of abstinence from meat, etc.) in many areas.
....... Today, most people see such sacred activities as a process of healing the soul and body. Because it has a purpose
to rebuild the body and mind for ourselves and ourselves.
In addition to making people stronger, keeping religious medical knowledge alive, reducing medical expenses in the state welfare system, it also creates an economy and security for people's lives.
......ThailandIFF on behalf of Luangpusraung Technology College has therefore set the date for early December 2025 to invite representatives from the University of Maryland to join in signing a memorandum of understanding with keynote speakers from 4 religious scholars (Hindu, Buddhist, Christian and Muslim) or university representatives from 4 countries.
......During that time, the 4 keynote speakers will present on fasting during Ramadan, Buddhist Lent, Hindu Navratri and Christian prayer fasts to lead to health and peace development.
....... ThailandIFF will also take the international artist delegations to see the Buddhist fasting labs in Thailand.
.....And then we will summarize the seminar results into an article to be published worldwide.
....From now on, the international artist teams who apply to join the folk festival in collaboration with universities in these 4 countries....will have volunteers to stay for another 3 days to fast according to their religious traditions.
......Meanwhile, the artist team that goes to TIFF(ThailandIFF) will have to volunteer to fast in the lab for another 3 days.
......When we do this repeatedly, these events will become a research and development field to be a great pioneer in the world for peace.
....That is, folk religions should be considered in the folk festival platform for the benefit of artists, the general public, and humanity.
