2 Day Buddah Lent has begun in Thailand

Thailand celebrates Asalaha Bucha Day.

All government buildings and institutions will be closed Monday 22 July and Tuesday 23 July for the buddhist holiday known by locals as ASALAHA BUCHA DAY. 


In addition all bars will be closed. Convenience stores such as 7/11 and Family Marts will be not be allowed to sell alcohol until midnight 23 July. For more information on this much respected Thai Buddah Holiday check out the article below i found on Thai Visa.



The Full Moon Day of The Asalaha (the eighth lunar month)

After The Lord Buddha enlighten on the full moon day of the sixth lunar month (Visakha), he spent seven weeks near by the Bodhi Tree. Afterward, he decided to teach the Dhamma to the others, even though there were difficulties for ordinary people to understand. His former teachers were dead, the next group of people he thought of were five ascetics called "Pancavaggi", group of five, who, at that time, lived in a forest named "Isippatanamarukatayawan", the deer park near Baranasi.

On the day before the full moon day of the eighth lunar month, Asalaha, there he was. The next day, the full moon day, The Lord Buddha gave them his FIRST SERMON called "Dhamma-cakkappavattana Sutta" or the Discourse on Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion. Not long after that, the head of the Five Ascetics, named "Kondanna" got "The Eye of Dhamma" and asked for ordination from The Lord Buddha. He became the FIRST MONK in Buddhism. The full moon day of the eighth lunar month became the day that honored the Sangha, or the community of the monks.

ACTIVITIES TO BE OBSERVED ON ASALAHA BUCHA DAY

'TUM BOON': Making merit by going to temples for special observances, making merit, listening to Dhamma preaching, giving some donations and join in the other Buddhist activities.

'RUB SIL': Keeping the Five Precepts, including abstinence from alcoholic drinks and all kinds of immoral acts.

'TUK BARD': Offering food to the monks and novices (in the alm bowl).

Practice of renuciation: Observe the Eight Precepts, practice of meditation and mental discipline, stay in the temple, wearing white robes, for a number of days.

VIEN TIEN': Attending the Candle Light Procession around the Uposatha Hall, in the evening of the Vesak full moon day.

July 23rd
Buddhist Lent Day (Wan Khao Phansa)

The Buddhist rainy season. The rain retreat or Buddhist Lent is marked by two major religious events : one for the entering of the rainy season called "WAN KHAO PHANSA" and for the exit of the rainy season called "WAN OK PHANSA" .

During the rainy season, i.e. three months, approximately July, August, September (depending on lunar months), monks aren't allowed to sleep outside their temple and cannot defrock. This tradition is coming from old times when Buddha stayed in temples during rainy season to avoid killing insects or growing seeds. It is a period for study, meditation and to teach new monks. They are allowed to go out during the day but they must sleep in the same temple every night during three months.

Ordination

Still many Thai men become monks before the rain retreat as it offers a three months time to study the Dharma .

A few days before "WAN KHAO PHANSA", Thai people buy big candles. These candles should by pair. One for the buyer and one to get a mate for next life. When buying the wax candles, the candle is decorated with dragon, flowers and so on...

Donations

One day before the beginning of the Buddhist lent, there is Asalabucha day .This day commemorates the first sermon of Buddha to his five first disciples. One of them asked for being a monk. So this day is sacred because it deals with Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

Thai people gather in the temple in order to listen to the Dharma. Temples are really crowded for "WAN KHAO PHANSA".

Buddhist sermon

During the Buddhist sermon, some laymen and laywomen prepare the trays dedicated to the monks.

Giving alms

When the Buddhist sermon is finished, Thai people are queuing to fill monks bowl with food.

Giving alms

Thai people are queuing in order to give their donations to the abbot. They offer wax candles but also monk robe, food, lotus flowers, buckets full of useful goods and so on... A Thai greeting towards the monk ( "WAI" ) shall be done before and after the donation.

Candle donation

The Candle Wax procession ("PHITI HAE PRASAT PEUNG" ) in Ubon Ratchatani is the most famous Candle Wax procession in Thailand. There is a night and day parad of huge wax candles. Those wax candles are big enough to last three months during a rain retreat season.

Soon, the abbot is submerged with donations. As usual, some laymen gather the donations in order that new donators can offer their wax candle.

Candle donation

After receiving the donations, the abbot blesses the crowd by sprinkling lustral water (NAM MON) on people. Lustral water is water that has been infused with magical powers or has received a blessing from monks. Thais believe that those who drink lustral water or have it sprinkled on their head, the most sacred part of the body, will be blessed.

Benediction

A thin bamboo stripes is used in Buddhist temples when abbots dip a bunch of it in holy water and sprinkle it on the faithful congregation. it carry the holy water well so giving the blessing of the dharma far and wide.

"VIEN TIEN" happens in the evening. During this ceremony, people turn around the temple three times with a candle in the hand.

Pattaya 7/11 and Family Mart now adhering to alcohol sales laws

No more 24 hour beer and booze buying at 7/11 and Family Mart!

 

Looks like the days of Pattaya's reputation as the Wild West may be starting to fade:

Over the last few days wandering in and out of various 7/11 and Family Marts here in Pattaya i have noticed signs on the chillers now warning customers that alcohol will not be sold from 14:00 - 17:00 and after midnight. In family mart the sign read they will not sell after 01:00. These signs also stated that they would not sell until after 11:00 A.M.

If you think this is just another one of Pattaya's attempts to appease the local Boys in Brown you may be surprised! I just went to a local 7/11 to buy some stuff for a late afternoon party and as the girl was ringing up the order she suddenly stopped with a very scared look on her face. She then checked her watch to make sure it was after 11:00. 

I am not sure how long this will last, if it is for good, or just another low season crackdown. One thing i am sure of is that it is for real right now, and that this is the first time i have seen this at local convenience stores here in Pattaya. So unless you have a local mom and pop mini mart close by, you may want to stock up ahead.
