My life is changed because of the mass ordination project. I change my negative thoughts about the monk… Now! He was a regional manager who had a perfect life. He had a good job with high salary but he had negative thoughts about the monk. How did he change his mind? What does he get from this ordination?
I’d like to ask Luang Phaw about the principle of “Sangha Dana” (presenting gifts to the Order of Monks), and if there is only one monk who receives our gifts, it can be counted as Sangha Dana or not? Also I’d like to know which one gives us more merit between presenting gifts to the Order of Monks or to a specific one.
I would like to ask about when the monks go for the offering rounds; can they wear a pair of sandals? For nowadays some areas are not suited to walk bare footed.
