The little junior monks were so cute. They are just part-timers getting merit for themselves and their family. During the week, they are the normal cute/rowdy/slightly obnoxious/sweet boys in class. On the weekend--monkalicious. One of the mini-monks even is a student at Super English--so proud! Freshly shorn and sooooooooo cute! They did a very good job. When they would do something un-monk-like, like reveal their feet from under their robes, an adult would come over and correct them. After the ceremony they played with the box of action figures at Super English and pretended to kill each others G.I. Joe toy. Not very monk-like but what can you do. You're 8.
After the monks gave us their (half-hour) blessing (A droning chant that took me to my happy place), people gave them food and other monk essentials so we could get merit. The monks take these merit buckets and distribute them to the poor.
One picture is of super staff members that attended the blessing (very early Saturday morning, not everybody made it).
