Alms!

We were invited to a families alms. Dilani, the lady we rent from, invited us to share the day her mother passed away. It has been 25 years ago. 

Alms is when the family gets together to pray and remember the people who have died. 

Here they are preparing the food for Buddha and the Monks. 

This is Lesli, he is Dilani's father. They are taking the food to Buddha and getting ready to pray.

More food to give.

The Monks are given food from the family.

As we learn about different cultures we find there is so much good in all. We really liked how they serve one another. Also, how they give to others.

This is the temple they attend.

After going to their temple they go home and eat more food. We were able to get some of the good Sri Lankan food.

View from the temple. A very rainy day.

What a great day to learn about others.

We have been truly blessed to meet so many good people!
