Nick Keomahavong | The Daily Alms Round Routine | Life of a Monk @nickkeomahavong01 | Uploaded July 2020 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
Many of you have seen the images of monks going on alms offering early in the morning. Fully dressed in their robes, carrying a bowl, and walking from one house to the next. But what is this experience really like for the monk? In this video, I wanted to share my experience of what it's like to go on our daily alms offering or Pintabata in Thailand. The experience of going on alms round as a Theravada Buddhist monk for me is very touching and personal. I wanted to make this video to give you a better understanding of the overall experience, so you can imagine what it would be like to be in our shoes. I hope one day you will have the opportunity to have this kind of experience either as a monk or a lay person. I hope you enjoy!
Today's question: Have you ever experienced doing alms offering to the monk? If so, please describe below. I would love to hear your experience :)
