You mention days that are related to our modern times, but when the Buddha lived, there were no days called Monday, Tuesday and so on. How do these days relate to our time?

I was wondering if you could help me please? Or steer me in the right direction, for many years I have lived my life by following the philosophy of Buddha and his teachings. I have always contemplated becoming a Buddhist monk one day, for many year`s I have traveled to Thailand many times, embracing Buddhism, meditation and prayer. Now I truly believe the time is right for me to follow the path of Buddha to learn and understand his teachings. I would appreciate it very much if you can assist me in any way to find a monastery or a school in Thailand that will allow a very willing westerner like myself to come and study Theravada Buddhism and one day be ordained as a monk. I study and practice everyday with great respect, Meditation,The Four Noble Truths and The Noble Eightfold path. All of which have helped me many times in life. I have thought this through and I full understand the commitment involved in becoming a monk. I look forward to you're reply Paul James Carr To whom it may concern,

Really doesn't seem to be a good thing to gain merit. The reason I looked this up was a tarot reader told me I would have an accident and to avoid it release a fish or give blood. It's the same in other countries with birds, not very nice. I agree it should be stopped. Really doesn’t seem to be a good thing to gain merit.
