Asia Foundation – January 4, 2017
In 2016, Asia was rocked by major events that tested the region’s perseverance and proved its strength. While many countries in the region proved to be economically resilient and politically stable, others were challenged by shifting alliances and leadership change, including the passing of a beloved monarch, and threats of regional security and resource shortfalls. To find out just what to expect in 2017, I asked Asia Foundation experts to share what they view will be the pivotal issue in their respective countries this year. Here are perspectives from 18 countries. — In Asia editor, Alma Freeman

tiramisu, và uống nước ép cóc nhé? Continue reading Lời cầu nguyện 40 – Prayer 40

Jesus,
I miss you.
The cities under our plane are beautiful.
You view the scene with me
while you lift the plane up. Continue reading Prayer 37

Jesus,
Our Father is working until now,
and you are working,
so we are also working.
Teach us how we could work with the best quality possible.
Teach us how we should wait on you so that you would be well pleased.
And work with us.
Thank you, Jesus.
Amen

PATHUM THANI, Thailand — It is a temple for a changing Thailand: clean, unadorned, high-tech and unashamed of praying for wealth.
“Sit here and get rich,” read small medallions embedded in the floor under each white plastic chair in a vast, open-sided meditation center. In his sermons, the temple’s charismatic 72-year-old leader, Phra Dhammachayo, often exhorts his adherents, “Be rich, be rich, be rich!”
