Massive turnout for merit-making ceremony in Nakhon Ratchasima

 

 

People in their tens of thousands attended a merit making ceremony this morning in Korat to pay tribute to the late King Narai the Great, founder of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thao Suranaree, the heroine of the province during the early reign of the Chakri Dynasty and to remember the victims of the mass shooting last weekend.

 

10,000 monks, from temples in Nakhon Ratchasima, Chaiyaphum, Buri Ram and Surin provinces, chanted prayers to bless the province and received alms from lay people.

 

Some merit-makers told Thai PBS that they took part to bless Korat on its 364th anniversary and to pay tribute to the 30 people who were murdered last weekend.

Enlightening, could something like this work for the road carnage?

Probably less carnage than sprinkling a few infected Chinese in the crowd with the 10,000's of thousands

No worries, they can play games and take selfies on their smart phones in the meantime.. DUH.

 

But seriously i wonder how many of these merit making monks were ordained in the morning or yesterday to participate in the 10,000 strong merit-making ceremony? ????
