My Actifit Report Card: October 17 2024

Morning exercises,feeding chicken, attending monastery on the full moon day
Dear friends,

Today morning, I woke up late at about 6:00 and I did physical exercises and then meditated for 15 minutes. Then, I fed my brother's chicken. They were carried from northern Shan State by my brother because my brother family couldn't stay there any longer because of the airplane bombardments from the military.

Then, after breakfast, we went to a monastery to pay homage the Three Gems - Buddha, Dhamma and Sanga and donated requisites for the monastery. It is our Buddhist custom and tradition to do so on full moon days. Some take sabbath by staying at the monastery practising meditation or at home. Today is the full moon day of Thadingyut and
there were many people attending monasteries. We intended to attend three monasteries but was only able to attend one because of the heavy traffic, that we had not encountered before. Now, there are many IDPs moving to my town from northern Shan state and my town has became a sheltering place for them.

After returning from the monastery, we went to elderly relatives to pay respectful homage to them. We went to two households in the morning and four household in the evening.

And at night, my sister and I pay homage to my mother. It is our tradition to do so during Thadingyut and during Thingyan in April - twice a year. It is to pay homage and also to seek forgiveness if there is some mischief we have done to them.

Those are some of the activities for today.
