On Tuesday at the Sawang Boriboon Foundation in Naklua, the Foundation’s Committee, led by Mr. Banjoeng Kanawattanagoon, oversaw the Chinese-Thai Buddhists’ last ceremony before the vegetarian season ends. This last observance of the festival was donating raw rice, blankets, basic medicines and basic needs to the less fortunate. The Committee and Guests of Honor threw the donations over the balcony to the ground, where the poor people collected them for their use. This ceremony, called Te-kra-jaad, is always done before the vegetarian festival ends, to share nature’s bounty with poor people. The participants dedicate the merit they obtain to their deceased family members, and to the hungry souls who still wander in the afterworld, and are unable to pass over into light and peace. The “Te-kra-jaad ceremony” was done after a ritual of worship and devotion to all the angel spirits who protect the universe.
