The monks carried their bowls with them, asking for a little bit of rice as they journeyed through the day.
At the end of the day, back at the monastery, monks expressed gratitude for the contents of their bowls.
This gift of a monk's bowl was adorned with with dragonflies and fired with a lavender ceramic glaze on the inside.
The dragonflies symbolize change of spiritual perspective.
The lavender is the color of Spirit's opening into life experience.
Eating from this monk's bowl at day's end is to feast at a grand banquet.
