 Offer the Morning Alms Round to worship the Lord Buddha and keep the Buddhist Custom

We can keep Buddhism well by giving
If we don’t give anything for about one month,
No one gives any food,
Everybody in the country stops giving,
Every household doesn’t give anything,
Buddhism will die out, monks and novices will disrobe
There will be nothing left.
If there is no giving,
We cannot move forward.
When we give and make Buddhism thrive,
We will thrive as well.

The Most Ven. Phramongkolthepmuni (Sod Candasaro)
