The monks had to wait for several months before they could see the Buddha, but they did not give up. They continued to practice diligently, even though their robes were dirty and torn. The Buddha was impressed by their dedication and gave them new robes. This act of generosity is a reminder of the importance of giving in the Buddhist tradition. It is also a reminder of the Buddha\u2019s compassion for all beings, regardless of their social status. The tradition of giving new robes to monks and nuns is a beautiful and meaningful one. It is a reminder of the Buddha\u2019s teachings, of the importance of community, and of the power of generosity.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-24430c5\" data-id=\"24430c5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-071d1ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"071d1ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\"><b>Temple of Enlightenment\n<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b9ce9a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2b9ce9a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p><span><b>3070 Albany Cresent <br>Bronx, NY 10463 <span>&nbsp;
