Learning about Buddhism
a monks daily routine, almsgiving, the reason behind wearing robes and how they interact with the public. Monks go on a daily round of alms; each morning the monks will leave their Wat(Temple) with an almsbowl. The monks will walk in a line with the oldest monks in front. People- mostly Buddhist- will place ready to eat foods in the almsbowl- generally the food is freshly prepared rice, fruit, bottled water and some meats or curry, in Bangkok the food is all individually wrapped in order to be placed in the almsbowl.
The giving of alms is not charity to the monks, but a way for a lay Buddhist to make merit by and show respect to the monks. The monks are living from what the people provide, it forms a connection between the people and the monks.
The monks are not begging for food, the monk shows humility and detachment from worldly goods. The monks are not sitting on the streets idly begging with open bowls, alms are given in the early morning and the monks walk slowly and people that want to give them food indicate this to a monk.
