The three Upasikas who came and brought food this morning left their pots (is there a special name for this food carrying pot combination?) here.



The one in the middle of this picture , Upasika Sophea, if understood correctly, gave me her phone number before leaving.
I called her later to tell about the forgotten (?) pots, and that they could come and pick them up whenever they like. But me not speaking Khmer and her not speaking so much English, I am not sure it was understood.
Her phone number not connected to WhatsApp, I could not send a picture. But I can send a link to this forum post via SMS. :)

Sort after being back from almsround a group of "city-devattas" approached, leaded by their "Brahma", grandmother, mother.

Informed by previous visitors at the Ashram, who recognices, heared, in the neighborhood about my person on almsround, the previous visitor group found out about the dwelling and wished to give Dana.

Like always the Devas had been encouraged to focus on Sila, since Dana would cause just short holidays and often much Dukkha if exhausted, increasing heat in Samsara as well.

After having venerated, given some tonics and been taught on the greater benefits of Sila and that Dana without Sila wouldn't last long, in hurry to make Dana in another monastery, had had to leave back upwardly, asking the Devas leader, a very old woman, hardly able to come up on the fourth floor, to observe whether generosity is burdensome, even bringing great joy.

May all rejoice with there merits done here, and the Devas inform those not touched yet.
