This system is used by [[Zen]] monks who are in training, to beg for their food. This is generally done in groups of ten to fifteen. The group goes through the street single-file, chanting {{Nihongo||法|Hō|[[dharma]]}}, and sympathizers come down and fill their alms bowls. This is the monks&#039; offering of the Dharma and their lives of guardians of the Dharma to the people. According to Zen tradition, the givers should be grateful.&lt;ref&gt;Reps &amp; Senzaki, p.&amp;nbsp;48&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist|refs=&lt;ref name=OxfordRef&gt;{{cite web |url=http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780198605607.001.0001/acref-9780198605607-e-1788 |title=A Dictionary of Buddhism |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=9780198605607 |date=2004}}&lt;/ref&gt;}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Mendicant]]<br /> <br /> {{Buddhism topics}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Alms in Buddhism]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Buddhism-stub}}<br /> {{Japan-reli-stub}}</div>
