Takuhatsu (托鉢) is a Japanese term used to refer to the Buddhist monastic almsround.Theravāda
In Theravāda Buddhism, takuhatsu is referred to by the Pāli term piṇḍacāra (𑀧𑀺𑀡𑁆𑀟𑀘𑀸𑀭). Monks or nuns on piṇḍacāra go around town on foot with their almsbowl under their outer robe and make themselves available to the laity to receive almsfood (𑀧𑀺𑀡𑁆𑀟𑀧𑀸𑀢, piṇḍapāta).Owing, however, to the precarity inherent in almost all aspects of Theravāda monastic life, there is no guarantee of collecting enough food for the day, if any at all. This precarity is particularly observable outside the Indosphere, or even within it in times of societal or systemic crisis.
