Photo of the Week: Monks in Luang Prabang, Laos

July 27, 2011 by Bino 6 Comments

Binthabat

 

This shot was taken at Luang Prabang in Laos. Binthabat is a profound expression of generosity, a cardinal virtue for the Lao people, and is a significant source of religious merit for the Buddhist community. It is probably the closest religious interaction between lay people and monks. Whenever it is performed, it is done with a profound sense of beauty and affection, with piety, care, thoughtfulness, and with deep commitment.

      Thank you Renz. '? In Thailand, there are temples where they encourage travellers to have a conversations with the monks. This is to develop their English and communication skills. '?
