Buddhist Lent marks the start of the Wan Khao Phansa, a period of three lunar months during which Buddhist monks return to their temples and sequester.
It is a reenactment of the habits of The Buddha. He chose to stay closed in a temple during rainy seasons to preserve life by avoiding killing by stepping on an insect or a plant.
