Monks Collecting Alms - the respect given by a lay Buddhist to a Buddhist monk or nun is not charity as presumed by Western eyes but it is closer to a symbolic connection to the spiritual showing humility and respect. The presence of so many Buddhist monks is a stabilizing influence in Lao society and the act of alms giving assists in connecting lay people to the monk and what he represents.
