Today was Buddhist Lent, very similar to Christian Lent and lasts three months.
We went to the local temple armed with food for the monks and duly put the food in the baskets for the Monks.
Nuch found somewhere to get blessed and we also wrote a wish on some wax and then placed it in a pot of melting wax, which we then pored onto a candle mould. I guess when the candle is lit; your wish should come true.
Asked by Nuch, “what am I giving up for lent?” I replied “The same as I give up for Christian Lent” Nothing.
The best thing about going to the temple near us, are the huge turtles that live in a lake, some of these suckers are dustbin lid size. You buy food and feed them with a skewer; some of them could take down a small child if they got the chance.
