From the Teachers
We started our day very, very early with a walk to a food van where we purchased offerings for the monks. As monks took their morning walk, we learnt how to ‘wai’ and place our offerings in their alms bowls, before kneeling while they blessed us. After we had all made our offerings, we headed three and a half hours north-ish to the Maekok Outdoor Education Centre where the students have enjoyed some team building activities.
QUOTEABLES:
“Which way is right?”
“Don’t entrance.”
SUPERSTARS:
Alistair – for being amazingly respectful as he was lucky enough to be blessed by the local abbot (the most important monk!)
Nicole – for taking time to pick up extra litter (without being asked)
Oliver – for all round awesomeness and helpfulness
Stay tuned for a post on our alms offering, written by Oliver.
