Hello everyone, at the beginning of April, my family and I have had some activities together and it is considered a good thing to start anew every month for us. Today, I took my children to make merit at a Thai temple in Malaysia. This temple is a very popular temple that we often visit and in addition, many Thai brothers and sisters also like to visit this temple. This temple was built with royal funds from His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great, Rama IX. This temple is considered the most important temple in Malaysia for Thais living abroad. Even though we went on a normal day, it was a long holiday for Malay brothers and sisters, which is their ordination month or their New Year's Day. So my children's school was closed for 1 week, so we had time to take the children out to do activities together. Starting this month, we started doing good deeds, teaching the children to be closer to religion by taking them to learn how to make merit, give alms to monks or train them to be aware of sins and demerits so that the children would not be far from religion, which has been a spiritual support for Thai people since ancient times.
Even though we arrived at the temple a bit late today, there were still many people coming to the temple continuously. My husband and I took our children inside the temple. Today, the weather here was very hot. The sky was clear and the clouds were clearly visible, which was suitable for taking pictures, but not suitable for going down to worship the shrines located in the temple because it was very hot. But there were still many people who did not care about the hot weather. They still went down to worship the Brahma shrine below. Even though they walked on the hot tiles or even knelt down to worship, they were not discouraged by the heat at all. Because everyone came with their hearts and true faith in the sacred things that they worship.
My youngest daughter quite likes to visit this temple. She brought the coins she saved to give to the monks to make merit. After we made offerings to the monks, received blessings from the monks and paid homage to the Buddha statue, it was time to go home. But before we go, where can we take the children? I will tell you tomorrow. Thank you to my friends who stopped by to read my article today. I hope you like it.
