Begging Bowl
If you would like to bring something to offer when you visit the temple but don’t know what would be useful or appropriate, here are a few suggestions. Needless to say we’re grateful for whatever you can help us with.
Cleaning
Everything here drains into a septic tank so we have to be careful to use only environmentally friendly cleaning products, such as the Ecover range, see http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/ecover/, especially:
Ecover Toilet Cleaner, Ecover Limescale Remover and Ecover Non-Bio Laundry Liquid
For the Cupboard
Sugar, Coffee Mate, Cadbury’s Drinking Chocolate,
Sweet Chilli Sauce, Honey, Marmite,
Vegetarian stir-fry sauce,
Ground Ginger, Cinnamon powder, Black peppercorn, Cloves,
Tomato Juice,
Kleenex type tissues, Mansize mostly.
Toilet Air Fresheners.
Fresh Food or Vegs.
Garlic, Ginger, Onions, Spring onions, Butter Beans,
Leeks, Aubergines, Spinach, Peas
Any Vegetarian or Meat-Free products (e.g. mince, pieces, burgers or sausages)
Garden
Plants and Bulbs
And we’d better say
We have gallons of bottled water and actually our tap water is spring water, so please there’s no need to bring bottled water.
