About the Event
Kathina Wish List (coming soon) | Supporting our Bhikkhuni Sangha
We welcome all of our Dhamma friends to join our Dhammadharini Bhikkhuni Sangha Kathina Sangha Gathering “Offering the Robe of Merit” on Saturday November 4th.
The Kathina comes at the end of Vassa, the three-month rainy season retreat, and is a celebration of community & generosity. It is the traditional time of year for the lay community to express their support for the monastic Sangha by offering essential requisites (food, clothing, shelter, and medicines).
The central feature of Kathina is the offering of cloth to the Sangha, who awards it to one of their members--in some traditions, this cloth is then sewn into a robe before dawn of the next day. This year the cloth will be offered by Chathuri Senanayake & Dilshan Amarathunga Family as leading supporters of our 2567 BE/2023 CE Vassa.
The details of the event are still being planned. Please register to receive more information as it becomes available.
We look forward to having you join us!
Out of care for the vulnerable members of our community, the event will be held outdoors with COVID safety precautions in place.
For information about supporting our community during the auspicious Kathina season, please see the Support page on our website and our Kathina Wish List (coming soon).
