Food for novices!

We happily sent along part of the donation funds from the Meditator Gratitude Campaign to support several monasteries in the Lashio area. Take a moment to read about this meritorious transaction, as recorded by one of our local volunteers. Thank you so much for your kind contribution!

“Just today, I received the photos of donation and alms-rice purchase receipt from the local volunteer in Lashio. Due to some Internet blocks yesterday and over the last few days, he had not been able to reach me. The abbot of the beneficiary monastic school also made a call to me and said thankful words to all donors. He was happy that this donation could sustain his novices for 2-3 months! He also expressed his gratitude to all the donors to have good health, happiness and be safe from the pandemic.

He said, ‘This support of yours, at least, saves some money to purchase vegetables and some nutritious food for the curries of the novices since I do not have to buy rice for this month and about 2-3 months from now on.’ Since he had to buy rice in the past months, he had to feed the novices with tea leaf salad frequently, instead of different nutritious curries. Now, he will be able to provide a more balanced meal for these novices to eat well, thanks to you.

It is for your delightful information and may you all be blessed by your merits.”
