The merit model in every step
Even though the monks felt hot, were tired and hungry, the monks still walked intently to the destination
The dhutanga monks walked past the recently flooded area last year to remove dangers and troubles
The monks reached the destination, Bot-bon Temple, at 14.20 p.m.
The monks lined up for congregations to wash the monks’ feet
Rejoice in the monks’ merit of being our merit fields
Rejoice in the monks’ merit of being our merit fields
Meeting the monks is one of the highest blessings
Congregations washed the clothes used to wipe the monks’ feet dry
The dhutanga monks rubbed the Main Buddhist Chapel which had been flooded for months
Rejoice in the dhutanga monks’ merit
Rejoice in merit of paving rose petals to welcome the Dhammachai Dhutanga Monks in this occasion
