In between buying handbags or browsing the jewellery counters, shoppers in Thailand will soon also be able to get their daily dose of dharma under a plan to install monks in major department stores. Under the "meet the monk in a quiet corner" project, the Ministry of Culture plans to rent out space in stores throughout the country where shoppers can have a quiet chat with clergy in a bid to bring people closer to religion, officials said.
Shoppers will be encouraged to participate in religious activities, and films or religious-themed comics will be available to attract younger participants.
I wonder if this approach could be taken up by groups of vegans at shopping malls?
