Coming Event: Lao Thai New Year
During special events, people begin to arrive early in the morning, wearing comfortable clothes. They carry food prepared at home, sometimes in gold or silver bowls, and offer it to the monks. After brunch, the people are blessed by the monks and many return to their homes. Some devoted laypeople may choose to remain at the temple and take a vow with the monks to keep either five or eight precepts throughout the entire day. After taking this vow, they share their time between praying, listening to the monks, teaching and doing meditation. In the evening, the monks may lead a candle lit procession, making three complete circuits of the main temple building. This event signifies the end of the celebrations.
