Question about respecting monastics
Brief background, I work in the non-profit sector and recently, my work has connected me with our local Buddhist temple. My mother is Buddhist but doesn't go to temple so I am familiar with some teachings, but not etiquette. I went the temple a few weeks ago to meet with the monastic who I will be working with the future. She recently called me and invited me to go for a walk with her around the temple grounds (which are super lovely).
I would like to take her a gift, as I would with any colleague who invited me to their home. Is this appropriate? Normally, I would take wine, but I don't think that's a great idea here.
Any advice?
