Kaṭhina Robe Offering Ceremony 2024
A Mindful Invitation
On the dawn of Esala Full-Moon Poya Day, the traditional invitation and other relevant customary deeds related to the observance of Rains Retreat were well performed out of compassion and loving-kindness - driving upon the Theravāda monastic code echoed through the ages.
The second Kaṭhina Robe Offering Ceremony will devotedly be sponsored by Dr Dimithu Weerasuriya, Mrs Mayuri Weerasuriya and family & Dr Rajintha Malavige, Dr Ridma Jayaratne and family - along with their close-knit friends in Oxford.
The Ceremony
We were humbly honoured to have held our second Annual Kaṭhina Robe Offering Ceremony. The day gave us rejuvenation to not only denote the end of the Buddhist monks' observation of the Rains Retreat (Vassa), as per the Theravada Buddhist Monastic Code, but to also embrace the pillars of mindfulness, spirituality and community.
