Every morning, barefoot, with an alms bowl slung over the shoulder
The novices of the Wat go out to beg for their daily food...
...to the local residents.
The meal is prepared by retreatants
Meanwhile, faithful followers come to ask for blessings from the monks.
...while young orphans make games
Finally, meal is ready...
...brought by young from the Wat...
...or novices
Setting the table
Call for meal
Before lunch, monks and novices...
..must tidy up their clothes
Monks and novice can now enjoy their meal
...under the watch...
...of retreatants...
...youngs of the Wat...
...and others faithfuls...
...and surrounded by paintings garnishing the "sala"
The meal of the monks and novices is now done...young people,
...retreatants...
...and other devotees give thanks
Novices and monks...
...then chant some litanies to mark the end of their meal.
Young people and...
..retreatants take their meal
Omnipresent cats..
...and dogs will finish the plates
...young people clear the table
