Leadership is needed among the monks and the laymen to change a little bit the way Pchom Benh is practised in the Buddhist monateries in Cambodia.
It is certainy overdue or high time as far change is concerned in the practise of Pchom Benh in a country such as ours.
Beggers and poor people who do not know or have full meals on a daily basis should be invited to participate in the so much food offered to the monks. It is certainly appaling to see the possibility of so much food that are perhaps wasted since the monks can't eat all of it.
Being a monk, one should not be afraid to eat with poor people. Of course, they will be asked to wash their hands and provide some decent clothes which come from the generosity of the laymen who go to the monasteries for celebration and offer donations.
Joining monkhood represents dedication to serving the people including the very destitute, Bhuddha and Buddhism which certainly encompasses embracing the poor to be part of the Pchom Benh.
The spirits are expected to get good food from their children and these children will find satisfaction even more that the food they offer to their deceased loved ones indeed serve to eliminate other poor people's hunger even for one day.
Call me Ah Thmil if you want, but Pchom Benh practise should be changed to some extent to include the very poor in Cambodia. After all, they are also our beloved fellow Khmers!
Pissed off
Preach it, Piss Off!
Pchum Ben should be changed to: Feeding The Poor Festival. If this is so, I think there would be less poor among the people.
First of all, dead people don't eat, period! Why do such a thing? Can I tell the truth...? People assume that they please their deceased relatives or dead parents by make this offering to them... No, you are not... You are offering food to demons. You are worshiping demonic spirits by such act.
Jews were chosen to worship their God according to his instruction. They were forbidden to make food offerings to the dead like the heathen nations. They did it anyway, and their testimony bear them record of ruined lives & wasted land. God scattered them among the heathen nations so they can practice their worthless religions to their own hurt.
