After learning to meditate while trapped in a flooded cave for 10 days, the Wild Boars soccer team may become monks to honor the diver who died during their rescue.
The 12 boys who were trapped in a flooded cave system in northern Thailand said at a press conference that they are considering becoming novice monks as a tribute to Saman Kunan, the 38-year-old former Thai Navy Seal who died during rescue efforts.
At the press conference, the boys and their 25-year-old coach, Ekapol Chanthawong, shared the relief they felt when British divers discovered them hunched on a muddy ledge four kilometers from the cave entrance. While trapped for 10 days in the dark, they said they clawed at the walls of the cave with rocks in an attempt to escape. The group took no food with them into the cave, and they had to subsist on water dripping from stalactites.
Chanthawong, who was a novice monk for nearly a decade, reportedly taught the boys how to meditate in order to help them keep calm and retain their energy.
