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 second kathina to be offered at Karuna Buddhist Vihara and we are delighted to have several monastics from many different monasteries join us for the celebration.
For anyone who would like to contribute to the maintenance of the vihara, please see our Dana Wish List and financial contribution pages.
Yours in the Dhamma,
