On the trip to Cuba for Buddhist affairs, Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh and some monks of Ba Vang Pagoda went on alms rounds on the streets of this beautiful island country.

Meeting the solemn Sangha, many Cuban people happily made offerings to Thay and his disciples.

Through these offerings, everyone will form an auspicious connection with the Three Jewels - the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha and receive many blessings in terms of longevity, beauty, strength, and peace, as taught by the Buddha.

Below are some recorded images!

“Monks go on alms rounds to form a connection with givers and to give them the chance to create blessings when they make offerings to the Buddhist monks,” taught Thay Thich Truc Thai Minh.
