Hello, everyone.This morning at 6:00 am, the sky outside looked dark with rain clouds that were about to fall soon. I woke up early even though today was the weekend. But because I almost promised my children that today I would take them out to make merit and do some small activities together during the weekend. The children were still sleeping comfortably on the bed because the weather was cool, I didn't wake them up at 6:00 am. I went down to do housework and put the clothes I had worn in the washing machine, then drove to the morning market. Today, the morning market was very lively. There were many shops selling things, but I didn't have time to walk around like every other time. So I hurried to buy breakfast and some desserts that my daughter likes to eat, then drove back home. When everything was ready, I went up to wake my daughter up at 8:30 am. When the children got up, they went to take a shower, brush their teeth, and get dressed, then went down to eat in the dining room. After they finished eating, it was my turn to prepare to take a shower and prepare everything to put in the car, including the things to offer to the monks this morning.At 10:00 AM, we started driving from home to the temple where we would make merit today. It took us about 1 hour to reach the temple. Today, there were not many Buddhists making merit at the temple, but there was one monk who was sitting at the temple waiting for Buddhists to come and pay homage and give blessings. When we arrived there, we brought the offerings to the monks or went into the chapel. First, we went to pay homage to the principal Buddha image in the chapel. After that, we brought water and snacks that we had offered to the monks and then the monks chanted and gave us blessings, which is considered an auspicious thing according to our faith and has been practiced since ancient times.
