@ the head shaving ceremony

Na-ark Hunz , the Stars & Exact staff

In the monring, Bie carried monk sack for phra Hunz.
At night, Bie stayed overnight at the temple with the new monk

5:50 am the next morning

beautiful morning…

cute moment…   Bie to the dog “you! behave yourself and stop right there!” 🙂

Bie as the new monk’s surrogate brother would  take care of donated money for the new monk.  Bie would separate money from other items.  Money are kept in the new monk’s orange bag that  Bie is carrying

phra Hunz  accepted  people’s offering

Since the bowl can’t hold that many items…

Bie as phra Hunz’s personal assistant or surrogate brother would take the food out of the bowl that the monk used to accept the offerings…  He would then give what he collected to another group of people who would bring the offerings back to the temple

Hunz’s mom  watched the procession

phra Hunz stop to accept the offerings… while Bie patiently waits

when the bowl is full,  Bie (or the new monk’s surrogate brother) would come and  take the offerings

—-

after accepting the offerings, the monks recite a prayer and give a blessing to the givers

later that day, Bie helped clean up the temple… hauling garbage bags away… even the real temple’s boy stop to watch…  a superstar’s image was put aside for the time being…  Today, he is just a friend, a brother and another regular guy…
