Alms giving is one of the most spiritually fulfilling practices among Buddhists. This practice is an offering made by communities to monks that practices the teaching of Buddha. The alms offered is usually meals. The offerings are first offered to the Buddha in a separate bowl, and are placed on a separate table, next the oldest monk is offered the offerings. The most important item among these offerings is what is traditionally known as “the eight monastic requisites” (atapirikara): the alms-bowl, three robes, belt, razor, water-strainer, and sewing needle. This offering is regarded as especially meritorious. Once this is over, another monk administers what is called punnanumodana or “thanks-giving” wherein all those who were connected with the ceremony are requested to partake of the merits (punna) for their future good.
