Wednesday Buddha – “Walking for Alms” – Pang Umbat
Wednesday Buddha depicts the Buddha holding an Alms bowl with both hands. In the early morning, monks make their alms rounds to collect food. Buddha did the same, and his father was appalled that Buddha was “begging” for food. Buddha calmed his father, informing him that the lineage of Buddhas was to perform ‘Pindabat’ to be available to followers who devotedly bring food.
