as a gesture of的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

Just before the summer solstice, I spent three days in Maine's Acadia National Park. As part of my time there, I joined with the Wabanaki peoples to offer a gesture toward a new beginning, exploring how the intersection of nature and culture can help us shape a better future. The Wabanaki peoples have lived in the land we call Maine for millennia. The roots of the word Wabanaki can be found in the Passamaquoddy word Ckuwaponahkiyik, or “people from the land where the sun rises.” As the people of the dawnland, they consider it their responsibility to welcome the sun for the rest of the continent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thot Kathin is a traditional Buddhist festival celebrated in Issan (northeast Thailand), Cambodia, and Laos.

The word Thot means making an offering to the monk and the word Kathin literary means the embroidery frame used in sewing the yellow robes which, in those available in plenty as nowadays. Buddhist people regard the “Thot Kathin” ceremony as the most signification form of merit-making nest to the ordination of their close kin. Thus, once in their lifetime everybody is looking forward to having an opportunity to be the sponsor of a Kathin ceremony as it involves a lot of time manpower and expense.

The origin of "thot kathin'' may briefly be told. During the time of Lord Buddha a group of monks on their way to see the
Lord Buddha had to stop and spend a retreat during the rainy season in a certain town before they could reach their destination.

After the retreat ended the monks hastily left before the rainy season had definitely ended. Wet and muddy on their way,they were a sorry sight when they reached their destination. As monks were not allowed at this time to receive robes from anyone and were expected to make their own robes by washing, cutting
and sewing discarded clothing, the Buddha, seeing the dilemma of
the visiting monks, gave permission for any monk to receive a robe presented by anyone during the month after the retreat.

This is the origin of the "thot kathin" ceremony. Later on when the number of robes presented on these occasions did not suffice for all the monks, the Lord Buddha decided that any monk coming out, of retreat; with a robe more tattered (old and torn) than those of his brethren might receive a robe from any person, provided he be well-versed in the
Buddhist Code of Law and provided the donation be approved by all the assembled monks.

Usually in a village or district there is at least one temple meet for religions festive occasions, and the wat also served them in the past as the peoples' spiritual, intellectual and social center. In the old days a village was a self-contained unit. The people grew their own rice and other kinds of vegetable food, built their own honses and other
things by voluntary and reciprocal aid from their neighbors .
They also wove their own cloth. It was the duty of families to train their daughters in the art. of weaving. A girl who could weave skilfully was the pride of her family. Thus there was no cloth for sale in the village. The annual kathin robe for presentation to a monk had to be woven and made beforehand.

Gift-giving is an act of appreciation and gratitude to the monks. Individuals or community groups (such as a village) may perform them. Many villagers combine efforts by collecting cash donations for the maintenance of their local temple. Such donations are vividly arranged on a "money tree".

The "thot kathin" by the villagers is usually never made to their own village wat, but to the wat of another village.
This is a friendly gesture among the different villages, The "thot kathin" is arranged beforehand. When the day of the "thot kathin'' arrives, the donors of the kathin robe will arrange a procession
with music and other entertainments to accompany the kathin robe which is borne either on a decorated cart or on the back of an elephant.

After the ceremony the people of both villages join in games and pastimes until late in the afternoon when the guests take leave of the hosts who may also present them with fruits and other products of the village.

I WONNNN !! I'll be donating the $10k USD I won from the MSI Relay Challenge to various Animal Shelters across Bhutan & India.
I'll also be giving away $10 USD (steam wallet/UC/Diamonds) x 100 voters ( $1000 from my own pocket) as a gesture of my appreciation 🖤
to MSI Gaming and EVERYONE who made this possible THANK YOU !

Hey everyone,

This is a very different type of video. I recently took up painting again and some of you requested a Speed Painting video so here it is. Sit back, enjoy the music and paint with little Bubz.

This is my 3rd painting lesson with Tim Gagnon. He is a fellow Youtuber and amazing artist. I found him a week ago and have been OBSESSED with his painting techniques. His passion inspires me so much and I'm learning so much from him right now.

I'm currently taking the Misty Forests lessons from his website http://www.timgagnonstudio.com/lessons

You guys can check out his Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/Gagnonstudio

I'm sharing his channel and website because I'm learning so much from him and sharing the joy. I'm not paid by this or anything. I just think he's great and deserves to be known more. I know a lot of you guys are aspiring artists out there and I know Tim would teach amazing things to you all like I did.

For 2012, I decided to take up painting for one of my resolutions. I loved painting as a child. I was obsessed with art because I can go anywhere through my drawings. It freed me because it allowed me to escape from the busy World.

As I get older, I really realize that the simplest things make me happiest. Sometimes, I feel like the World moves too fast for me. Almost 8 years after High School, I plucked up courage to paint again. Painting somehow slows down time for me because it allows me to be 100% focused on the painting.

You guys can read my diary post
http://bubzbeauty.com/diary/235-painting-with-passion-again.html
for my painting story. I hope it also inspires you guys to go back to your passions. I know we can become occupied with life but really, this has given me back lots of meaning in my life again. I don't think people realize how short life really is so do all the things you want to do that inspires you while you can. Make the most out of it.

I'm still learning from Tim right now (You guys should see his original painting of the one I did lol, it's like...breathtaking!!!). It will be a while for me to be as skillful (or if not, half as skillful) as he is. But one day, I would love to give away one of my paintings to you guys as a gesture. If I ever hit 1 million subscribers- that would be such a special thing to do.

Some of you mentioned I can auction a painting and put the money to charity. That's a great idea but it makes me nervous. It'll be a fun and good cause and I'll work hard practicing for that day.


Ps. Music "Path of Wind" orchestra version from my fav Studio Ghibli anime "Totoro". Nostalgic!! and also "From the Inside out" instrumental from Hillsong.


Have a great day,

Much love, Bubz xx

Hello Youtube Family

Today’s Vlog:
Sick & Emotional,
Fixing the Hair Disaster,
Feeling Guilty
Always a Child at Home,
Dont Trust Feelings,
Worse Dressing Mother

Recent vlogs have been longer haven't they? It's probably to make up for Tim not being around lately hehe. I may have gotten slightly emotional the other day due to a little cold, a little sleep deprivation and (quite a lot) the runs. When Tim's mum got back from holiday, I took the chance to fix my hair disaster at the Tsang household. Was great being able to see my family again. Tim is back on Thursday wohooo! Did these 2 weeks fly by or what? We're debating whether we should pull Isaac out of daycare too. He only goes 2 days a week and somehow, he manages to pick something up each time. The teachers are amazing and he is settling well but I just can't help but feel guilty. Breaks my heart to see him sick all the time.

Also- just a little heads up for you guys. We were originally going to renew our vows in Europe through a kind gesture from a company who offered to sponsor us. We don't do sponsorships often but since it was so meaningful, we gladly accepted. However, we decided to step out in the end due to a slight clashing of opinions as time went by. No disrespect to the company, we understand how they like to operate on a business level but unfortunately we don't think we're the suitable sponsorees they are seeking for. We're still very much happy and excited about being able to finally move into our new home together this month hehe.

Ps. Isaac and I are both feeling a lot better now hehe!! Thank you, guys!!

Love, the Bubz family

子供は、こういうの好きです（笑）
もりもり、もりもり食べましたね(´w｀
食事は楽しくおいしく笑顔で♪

I found an interesting plate.
It is a Toilet bowl plate.
I seem to associate something when I serve curry in this plate.
About it, does the child notice in the same way as an adult, too?
My child noticed at a moment to see it.
She showed the gesture of the restroom to see it.
If even how delicious dish is not pleasant, the dish is not delicious.
It's a joke of my home :)
