This is a mendicant tradition in which the monks depend on the support of the lay community for their nourishment.
Through this, a relationship of dependency is established, and also a sense of gratitude and proximity to the Dhamma.
Those who wish to offer a meal to the monastic community, can find in the calendar in this page available dates for offering and fill in the short form next to it.
It is important to arrive in time, in order for the meal to be ready to be offered to the monks at 10:00am.
Following the offering, all the monastics, guests and lay donors gather in the Meditation Hall,
and the monastic community will present a short chant in recognition of the act of generosity,
rejoicing with gratitude on the benefits of such an offer.
Those who wish to offer can bring a meal prepared in advance or prepare it in the monastery’s kitchen,
with the help of one of the resident guests who is familiar with the kitchen and the monastic procedures.
May you abide in well-being
