Rains Retreat is a Time of Renewal – Rev Wadigala Samitharathana

The Rains Retreat (Vassa) is a sacred three-month period in the Buddhist tradition dedicated to spiritual renewal, deep meditation, and the cultivation of wisdom and compassion. In this talk, Rev Wadigala Samitharathana reflects on how this ancient practice offers an opportunity to pause, examine our lives, and renew our commitment to mindfulness, ethical living, and inner peace.


May this reflection inspire you to embrace the Rains Retreat as a journey of transformation—for your own well-being and for the benefit of all beings.


🍃 May all beings be happy, peaceful, and free from suffering! 🍃
