6AM Offerings for the Monks





 At 4am in the morning, the monks will meditate for a few hours before leaving their temples to receive offerings from the local people. They walk single file down the streets and the locals will set up outside their houses to hand each one an offering...mainly sticky rice and other bits of food. They walk for about an hour before returning to their temples. The sun is rising at this time of day.
