Making merit is a means of life for many Thai people. There are a couple of methods of earning merit. Each morning you’ll observe monks walking down the roads of Thailand with empty bowls.
They’re giving the people an opportunity to get merit by filling that bowl with meals as monks aren’t permitted to cook or store meals. The individual gains merit along with the monk becomes fed.
If you want to make merit for the company (also known as “ทำบุญให้ บริษัท” in the Thai language) or for the relatives, you can go with different and unique ideas for the function to make it more special.
These baskets are supplied to the monks at the temple providing still another opportunity to add merit. Another method of earning virtue is via prayer, typically done in the regional temple. Opening one’s head to the religious side will acquire the individual virtue.
There are some beliefs in Thai people regarding making merit. Some of the beliefs are if you offer rice or any other stable food, you will be happy and healthy all through your life, if you offer as Buddha image, in your life, you will be as beautiful and bright as that image.
The water chestnuts are used as raw materials, crushed into flour to make the crispy bbq flavored chips (also known as “มันฝรั่งทอดกรอบปรุงรส” in the Thai language). In these chips, no preservatives added and the main ingredients are 90% truffle flour, 4% sugar, 2% salt, and 4% seasoning powder.
These are very delicious in taste and also served in merits or functions especially in Thailand. The bbq flavored chips can be prepared by potatoes also but the taste of water chestnuts are just amazing to eat.
