Original description & credits
The Vassa is the three-month annual retreat observed by Theravada practitioners, usually from July to October. For the duration of Vassa, monastics remain in one place, typically a monastery or temple grounds. Vassa is followed by Kathina, a festival in which the laity expresses gratitude to monks. Join us in this talk with Ven. Lenagala Siriniwasa Thero where you will know in more depth about the significance of Vassavana and the Kathina ceremony. * If you wish to be a sponsor to this talk, you could do a Dana to the Maha Sangha by donating to Ti-Ratana Buddhist Society Kuala Lumpur (CIMB: 8009451645)
