I really feel that this issue will be useful to practicing Buddhists who are looking to the
Thai Theravadan way, or people who wish to penetrate and familiarize themself with temple ettiquette and Ceremonial behaviour. Lots of transcribed Kata Chanting is included, as well as how to Bucha each Deity for each Kata and what to offer them. How to set up a Saan Pra
Poom (Deity house).... But you don't have to sit there and imagine it.. Because i have provided you with some pics of what lies between the front and back cover in this Newsletter
