Morning alms in Luang Prabang, Laos

Описание к видео Morning alms in Luang Prabang, Laos

Buddhist monks are not allowed to cook food, so they rely on the daily offerings of people. They have one meal a day, between sunrise and noon, and can only have water the rest ofthe day. So early in the morning (around 6am) the monks leave their monastery for their alms rounds: they walk briskly through the neighborhoods in a single file and collect their food from people (women are usually kneeling sideways barefoot when giving the offerings) They cannot talk nor make any eye contact with anyone, so it is very interesting to watch.
