SUMMARY:Buddhist Lent Festival
DESCRIPTION:Boun Khao Phansa is held at the beginning of the Buddhist lent. Over the following three month\, monks spend most of their time in prayer and meditation and are restricted from spending nights in other temples out of their own. Many devout people often abstain from alcohol during this time. In the early morning of Boun Khao Phansa\, people prepare donations of food\, especially “Khao Tom” (cooked sticky rice wrapped in banana leave) and necessities like soap\, toothpaste\, toothbrushes and towels for the monks. Most temples are busy during this time with people making merit and giving their donations. At the end of these merit making activities\, the monks will recite the teaching of Buddha and tell the history of the Buddhist Lent to temples-goers. Later in the evening\, monks\, novices cannot leave their monasteries to become lay-people and traditionally lay-people are not allowed to get married until the end of the Buddhist Lent or Ork Phansa.
