Saraburi, Thailand Jorge Silva
“I respect the people I photograph. Respect is the most important element
in establishing a relationship with the subjects of your pictures.”
Cengiz seemed to have it all.
A high-paying job in Germany's tech
sector gave him money and prestige,
but his life was spiralling out of control.
A cocaine addiction had pushed him to
the brink of suicide.
Desperate for escape after waking up
one morning in a pool of his own
blood, he found salvation half a world
away at a Buddhist monastery in
Thailand known for its drug
rehabilitation programme.
THAILAND-Fighting addiction

"Wat Thamkrabok absolutely changed my life," said the 38-year-old Turkish
German - now known as Monk Atalo - who came to the monastery 14 years ago
and has returned several times to pray and meditate.
"My job was really stressful and I was a slave of Western high-performance
society," said Atalo, who hopes to write a book about his experiences. Like others
interviewed for this story, he declined to provide his surname.

Wat Thamkrabok, 140 km (87
miles) north of Bangkok, has
treated more than 110,000 people
since it started its programme in
1959, the monastery says.

"Here we have a particular way to
practice Buddhism, and it fits very
well into the treatment of drug
addiction," said Monk Jeremy, a 37-
year-old Australian who underwent
treatment at the monastery three
years ago for heroin addiction.
Treatment begins with a "Sajja"
ceremony in which patients take a
sacred vow never to use drugs again.
at a Thai monastery

Patients then drink, for at least five
days in a row, a strong herbal
medicine that induces vomiting.
Vomiting is followed by a daily
herbal steam bath to aid the
detoxification process.
at a Thai monastery

No contact with the outside world is permitted
during the first five days of treatment. Patients pass
the time by meditating, playing table tennis and
weightlifting, and manual work such as painting and
making Buddha statues.
Some experts have questioned the effectiveness of
Wat Thamkrabok's methods.
at a Thai monastery

"I cannot advocate for that type of
treatment because there is absolutely
no sound evidence nor research
behind it," said Brian Russman, clinical
director of The Cabin, a drug
rehabilitation centre in Chiang Mai in
northern Thailand.
Patients were vulnerable to relapse
without follow-up therapy or peer
support, he added.
at a Thai monastery

Nat, in her fourth week of treatment, said she was
afraid to leave the temple for fear of a relapse. The 24-
year-old from northeast Thailand started using
methamphetamines two years ago to stay awake
during her night job as a go-go dancer in Bangkok.
"I can't leave until I recover my self-confidence. The
only job I have is at the bar and I need to go back to
it," said Nat, whose 7-year-old daughter lives in the
countryside with her grandmother. 3 FEB 2017. SARABURI, THAILAND. REUTERS/JORGE SILVA

walking on her knees at the Fatima
Sanctuary in Fatima, Portugal on May

Three shepherd children in Portugal
were jailed and threatened with
being boiled alive in olive oil when
they claimed the Virgin Mary
appeared to them 100 years ago. The
Catholic Church doubted their story
too.
From that unpromising start, the
children's reported visions would go
on to strengthen the faith of
Portugal's persecuted Catholics and
make the small farming town of
Fatima one of the world's foremost
pilgrimage sites, with around 6
million visitors a year.
Now, the Portuguese youngsters'
long-ago testimony is giving the
Catholic Church its youngest saints
who did not die as martyrs. Pope
Francis arrived Friday in Fatima to
observe the centenary of their
visions by canonizing Francisco and
Jacinta Marto this weekend.
