At the end of the three-month Rains Retreat, the lay community gathers to offer the monastic sangha robe cloth and supplies that will be useful for the coming year. It is both a significant and joyful occasion acknowledging the relationship of friendship and mutual support between the lay people and the monastics. Click here for more information about the tradition of kathina.
This is the third official kathina to be offered at Karuna Buddhist Vihara and we are delighted to have several monastics from different monasteries join us for the celebration.
If you'd like to contribute to the Kathina, please visit the Kathina Wish List or the financial contribution page.
Yours in the Dhamma,
