The Alms-bowl of a Theravada monk

The monk’s alms-bowl is only used to receive cooked food & fruits offered by willing donors. The monk strictly does not accept money with his bowl or on his Pindacāra (alms-round).

The Theravada monk
A Theravada Buddhist monk only consumes food between the break of dawn (around 7am in Kuala Lumpur) and noon (12pm). Thus, he does not go about collecting alms-food after mid-day. The monk goes on Pindacāra mindfully observing ‘noble silence’. He does not engage in talking or chatting with others.
