Rains-retreat ending Ceremory

Wat Pasantidhamma 14289 Chapaman's Lane, Carrollton, VA, United States

Oak Phansa marks the end of Vassa or the Rains- retreat ending. It ends the three month period of seclusion and study during which monks have remained in one place. On this last day of retreat, monks will take time to discuss, counsel, advise, as well as apologize and forgive among themselves. With the restriction on travel lifted, monks are free to travel to other temples and even to their home temples in Thailand.
