FREE VEGETARIAN FOOD

If you go to most Taoist or Buddhist temples during festivals, you would most likely be treated to free vegetarian food.  The ingredients for cooking are donated by well-wishers.  It is believed that those who contribute food for such events will receive much blessings from heaven.
The rice and vegetables in the pictures above were donated by devotees of the 9 Emperor Gods and would be cooked by volunteers and served to those who come to the temple during lunch and dinner.
