The offerings included: 1 pair of preah vasa candles, 5 sadaks, 1 bag of sugar, 1 box of condensed milk, 1 box of canned fish, 1 kilogram of wax candles, 2 bags of rice, 5 boxes of pure water, 5 boxes of orange juice, 5 boxes of noodles, 1 large piece of gold incense, a pagoda building grant, and some other grants. These offerings of candles and offerings are a contribution to support the monks who must wait for the full three months of the Buddhist Lent.
On that occasion, Mr. Heng Sour, the team, and all the Buddhist monks offered all the offerings. I would like to offer my sincere condolences to the monks who have been waiting for the full moon for the whole month at Sovannkiri Rattanak Buddha Temple, Phnom Pros, and dedicate the merits of the merits built to the souls of the seven relatives and all the heroes of the army and the national police who sacrificed their lives to protect the integrity of the Cambodian territory.
Separately, the candles and offerings were given to monks waiting for the annual festival at six other temples in Ampil commune, including four temples: Wat Nokor Bachey, Wat Nokor Bachey Krao, Wat Thla, and Wat Krala. There are two temples in Krala commune: Wat Angkuan Dei and Wat Tayok.
The beginning of the Buddhist Lent is an important festival in Buddhism and an important time for monks and laypeople to study the Dhamma and discipline strictly according to the Buddha’s teachings. Buddhists often celebrate this festival by bringing candles and other necessary offerings to the monks according to their ability and merit.
