‐In the morning, we pray that we hope to spend an ordinary day. In the evening we express to Buddha my gratitude of the day. My grandfather does it every day.
4. We put an eggplant and cucumber with legs which made by the disposable wooden chopsticks in the Bon festival.

5. We sprinkle our body with salt after a Buddhist service for the dead.
‐It is because to cleanse our body,
