Fasting -
The Buddha Diet is characterized by time-restricted
eating, also known as intermittent fasting. The Buddha Diet encourages
eating mindfully, does not restrict the types of foods you eat, and
encourages occasional indulgences.
Almsgiving -
Alms are usually food but can also be flowers,
incense sticks, towels, or other basic necessities. The monks
will not speak to or thank the almsgiver because alms are not
seen as charity. Instead, alms are an element of a symbiotic
spiritual relationship between a monk and a lay Buddhist.
