A Pindapatha, organised by the Colombo Municipal Council and the Ministry of Buddhasasana to coincide with Vesak, was held in Colombo this morning giving an opportunity to lay people to perform the meritorious deed of offering food to the monks. Several novice monks took part in the Pindapatha and were seen being helped by the laity. Pix by Pradeep Pathirana

Even Prince Siddhartha was an adult before becoming a seeker thus, to deprive these kids their childhood does not look right by any standards.
