This is the day of our monk ordination. I was a bit nervous and excited but the ceremony turned out to be quite quick and painless. We even shared some joy and laughter.
This is the moment in the ceremony when a series of critical questions are asked to the monks-to-be:
Do you have leprosy?
Are you free from government service?
Are you a human being?
etc.
Here we are, fully equipped monks. 2 sets of robes, a bowl and a sitting cloth.
This is called Pindabata(alms round). It's when the monks go out into the village every morning to receive food offerings from the villagers.
