Buddhist Lent at the Day Care Centre
09 Jul 2009 08:47 am
Buddhist Lent starts in early July and it is a time when the Monks return to their temples for three months of prayer, study and meditation. Prior to the start of Lent the temples are visited by the Thai people who ‘make merit’ by giving alms of food and candles to the monks. The children and staff from the Fr. Ray Day Care Centre recently visited a local temple to offer alms to the Abbot. The children sat in silence as the Abbot spoke with them and then they all and also to receive a blessing.
