Luangpor Teang - WatNongphong
Luangpor Teang alway walk "Bintabaht" received foods everyday 5-7 a.m. early morning, then give dana blessing to people. Elders teach for every ordained men to carry "Baht"(Monk's food bowl) so they known and understand how heavy mother carry them when pregnant, and kindness that been share to others. Bare feet walk practise focus meditation, by every steps must considers and watch out for rocks/glasses, any obstacles on the way. Luangpor Teang said he'll walk everyday just like Buddha did, not sit back comfort wait for offering foods, he'll do that until he can't walk any more.
Luangpor Teang said when he arrived at WatNongphong temple, not many people known about this. No foods were offer at all, every monks day once a week, only 2-3 people would visited and offering foods.
It is a good old tradition. 2500+ of years. There're many roads, monks have to go separate ways to visit and blessing as much houses as possible. For old people, it's hard for them to go to temple everyday.
Many
elders alway said to the young. That you're lucky to find the teaching of Buddha early. Not work hard your whole life then start to think/hope about next life or not when get old.
