This morning Amy and I decided to get up early (around 6:30) to go to Kota Permai Market which is about 4 km away from our house. We reached the market about 8 am and waited for the Sayadaws and samaneras who finally arrived at 8.30 am.
A number of devotees arrived soon after and Sayadaws and samaneras lined themselves up at the entrance of the market.
Today there are more people giving food, probably because this is the last day of this year novitiate programme.
In Malaysia, especially in Penang, Buddhists here are very generous when it comes to religious activities. They do not mind donating food, money and other kinds of offering to the temples, bhikkhus and others. Most of the time we have excess of food and money donated by the devotees and with these excess food and money we in turn donated it to other charitable societies.
A big Sadhu to all.
