Some people keep five precepts every day, they take this chance to keep eight precepts on the monk days during the Buddhist Lent. Someone always keeps eight precepts every monk day, he/she may do it more or every day during the Buddhist Lent.
For the more faithful people, they may make a pledge that they will meditate one hour or more before going to bed. Buddhists prefer to make a pledge to do like these, depending on their faith, during the Buddhist Lent.
Another important thing is because of the changeable societies, most people have their holidays on weekends, but the monks have taught Dhamma mainly on the monk days, so there are only the old people going to listen to Dhamma on the monk days.
Luang Phaw and Luang Phi, please teach Dhamma to people more on Saturday and Sunday because of their holidays. For the congregations, when you know that the monks will teach you more on Saturday and Sunday, don’t miss this good chance and persuade your friends to go to the temple to listen the sermon. If you can do like this, you will get a lot of merit throughout the Buddhist Lent, your life will be better, progress and prosperous than ever and so will the Buddhism and our nation.
