This picture is cups of coins for an offering to the Buddha, was taken in Chaing Mai, Thailand at the temple 'Wat Lok Molee', established some time during the fifteenth century.
It is custom to take of your shoes before entering many buildings such as temples, houses, and even some businesses in Thailand. This was taken of a novice monk's sandal that was sitting on a rack of full of the same blue and white sandals outside of the classroom the CRC students taught English in.
After a fun day of working in the rice fields and sweet potato farm with the CRC students, the novice monks grilled up the harvested sweet potatoes as a pre-dinner snack while we were visiting and studying at the monastery in Northern Thailand.
This was taken at the temple, 'Wat Suan Dok' in Chaing Mai, Thailand. The prayer flags in Thailand have different meanings based on their color and when they are tied around something like a tree or a statue, it creates a sacred space.
These were made by the novice monks who live, work, and study at a Buddhist monastery near the Thailand/ Burma border. The CRC students stayed there for a week to learn about Buddhist meditation and to teach English to novice monks and at a Burmese refugee camp.
