Giving Alms to the Monks

This specific activity became really important and eye opening for me, I found it very interesting how the people give actual food for the monks to live on instead of money. I think giving the food really shifted this experience for me because when I give money for charity it takes a piece of the importance away because I am not sure where the money is going but in this case there was food and I was sure of where it was going and it made much more sacred.
