The Ecumenical News International website reports today (November 5, 2011) that religious communities in Thailand are responding to a continuing flood crisis resulting from heavy monsoon rains in the last three months.
At least 373 people have died, and flooding has reached the capital city of Bangkok.
Wat Sa Ket -- or "the Temple of the Golden Mount" in Bangkok -- is offering counseling to flood victims.
The National Office of Buddhism has mobilized some 200 monks "with training in Buddhist psychology and counseling" to various evacuation sites.
