This is very sad. I am sorry to hear that people on Jeju island had to suffer a lot in the past! I hope the new generation will have a much better life and safer living condition.
This is a very good idea to have a folk museum that collect old customs and wisdom of past cultural practice. So, in this way young people will learn about their cultural heritage and understand about shaman ceremonies and their importance.
Young people in my country laugh at our old shaman ceremonies. They don’t understand why and how these ceremonies were parts of living in uncertain world. I think there is a meaning to everything, we just have to look for it!
Thank you for this very educational article.
All the best.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
Thank you very much for your kind reply.
I am thinking of writing an email to the Minister of Culture here in Thailand about having something like what you have in Jeju.
Would you mind if I use your article as an example of how to preserve old belief systems and traditional ceremonies?
If we don’t start doing something now, I am afraid that the digital world will make next generation of Thai people becoming more like robots!
