Meditation is still somewhat of an "uncharted territory" for many, as it has only recently become widespread and popular.
However, in Asian countries it is an important element of culture and religion, so meditation has been practiced there for quite a long time.
In most cases, meditation takes place in a secluded place. However, to set a world record, it was decided to invite as many people as possible.
Just a couple of years ago, this achievement made it into the pages of the Guinness Book of Records, as it was possible to gather a huge number of people for meditation.
As it turned out, more than a million people decided to join in setting the record.
This meditation took place on the territory of one of the temples in Bangkok. An interesting fact is that anyone who wanted could also join in online.
Another world record was also broken that day: the largest mass photo session in history took place. The fact is that each participant of the event was filmed on camera.
