OFFERING FOR THE MONK

Every morning , the monk will give their blessing for the people. The people will give them anything , but most of all they ll give food for the monk upon the bless.

There is a lot of temple around Luang Prabang . They have they own route for give their blessing. As usual , the monk will collect food for their lunch and dinner every morning.

This is some picture taken by me during that morning.

I realize that at early in the morning , the local will selling the food for offering and rent the chair for their space. In my opinion , even though the local has capitalist the monk activity , but i think it is ok as long the price is not expensive .

They also can give some those money for monk offering . The local has to be pay for their services for providing the food and chair. I have see some place was chaos because no system like this in other place.
