At our meals in our dining halls we had high lecterns at which a Reader either sat or stood during meals, because at all times when we ate we were read to so that our minds should be filled with spiritual thoughts while our stomachs became filled with tsampa.
Katika milo yetu kwenye kumbi zetu za kulia chakula tulikuwa na masomo ya juu ambayo Msomaji aliketi au kusimama wakati wa chakula, kwa sababu wakati wote tunapokula tulisomewa ili akili zetu zijazwe na mawazo ya kiroho wakati matumbo yetu yanajaa tsampa. .
