Last Saturday, Syd and I got up at 5 am to witness "Several "(11,250) Buddhist Monks from (only) the Chiang Mai area gather at one of the streets not far from our house. Indescribable !
From (young) boys to (old) men.
Monks from all ages.
Each carrying their offering bowls.
Just as many devotees came, if not more.
They came to worship ...
... They came to give their offerings.
The "Merit" (Karma) received from this offering is like one years worth - normally offerings are on a much smaller scale - to Monks daily.
It was a Family event.
Teaching the next generation the religion of Buddhism.
All generations were there.
Its been said, Christianity is the only Religion where the Creator seeks / pursues the created.
They deserve to KNOW !
... and so do they !
...the harvest is plentiful ..
... the harvesters - few ...
PRAY !!
