The Buddha taught that merit arises through wholesome actions, and food offering is one of the most accessible ways to generate it. In the past, people would offer food to monks with a wish for good health, peace, rebirth in a good realm, or simply to purify the mind. You can do the same by dedicating your offering with a wholesome intention, either for yourself or for others. Such acts plant seeds of joy and peace that will bear fruit in this life and beyond.

The pindapata offering starts at 8:10 AM—follow the route to join.
