The TOPIC has been chosen!!!!

I went to the Kuan-im Temple at Krabi, since I got down from the van, I saw a beggar sitting in front of the temple. I told my dad to bring the left over food from our lunch for him and give him some coin. After, I saw him eat like he has been starving for a long time but right after he finish eating he gave the food to the monkey.

I was so surprise of this action because if I were he I would have kept it for my next meal. I asked him for my curiosity and he answered "All these monkeys are my friends and they always stay here with me so I don’t feel lonely." I was so impressed from his answer that came from a beggar who is even handicap.

I went inside the temple and buying candle and incense to pray to Jao-Mae Kuan-Im and I realized that Kuan-Im teaches people not to eat big animal, such as, beef.

So I thought of the festival of Practice vegetarianism during this time (7-17 October 2010).

This festival is cerebrated by Buddhist in Thai and China, which avoid eating meat or eating vegetarian. The thing you have to do in vegetarian festival is prohibit eating meat or assaulting animals. Also, you are prohibited to eat milk butter oil from animal and the food that spicy. Besides, you have prohibited on vegetable that have tang, such as, garlic, onions, etc. The point to eat vegetarian is for health because vegetarian food is the food that in type of healthy food.

If you continue to eat vegetarian food your body will become more balance and you have to eat with merciful mind to animal because you should think that animal have a mind like you and have to mind to scare to die like the human.

This belief says eating vegetarian is one way to skip your karma together with maintain your health. If you eat meat you will kill one life this is mean that you generate karma. It will generate to your body you will have shorten age like you do with animal.

So that if you eat vegetarian your body will grow but you are not necessary to build the karma.

This is a symbol of vegetarian warn the people who practice in time 9 day and 9 nights.

Almost all provinces have a festival of vegetarian to facilities the people who eat vegetarian. Some provinces are having a great festival and remain this good culture. The people who interesting this festival will join like in Phuket, Trang, Krabi, etc. in the hotel Bangkok like royal view resort is mediate on this festival also. They also have vegetarian food serve you all time for the people who eat vegetarian.

So this three became my topic of “Taking Life and Giving Life.”
