SUMMARY:Kathina 2026 Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The Significance of the Ceremony \nDuring the rainy season of each year\, the Lord Buddha established the Buddhist discipline called Buddhist lent\, during which every monk stayed overnight at the same temple for three lunar months to study and practice the Dhamma intensely. \nAfter the end of the Buddhist lent\, the Kathina Day festival is the next great festival to be held at each temple. All Buddhists believe that this is the biggest merit-making ceremony. The donation for Kathina Day is quite distinct from other kinds of donations due to the limitation of time to make it\, within one lunar month after the end of Buddhist lent only once a year in each temple. Monks qualified to get the Kathina yellow robes have to keep staying overnight at the same temple three complete lunar months. Furthermore\, the Kathina ceremony can only be held in a temple having at least five such monks. \nOffering Kathina yellow robes can not be specified for individual monks but has to be done as a Sanghadana\, an offering for the whole group of monks. Moreover\, all monks in the ceremony have to complete the ritual of Kran Kathina within the same day. \nKathina Ceremony\nWat Pasantidhamma Virginia\nSunday\, November 22\, 2026\n*********\nSchedule \nSaturday\, November 21\, 2026 \n04.00 p.m. Together at Dhammasala to prepare Kathina Ceremony\n05.00 p.m. Chanting and meditation\n05.30 p.m. The monks chant the Buddha’s blessing \nSunday\, November 22\, 2026 \n06.00 a.m. Chanting and meditation\n07.00 a.m. Breakfast\n09.00 a.m. Together at Dhammasala\n10.00 a.m. The monks chant the Buddha’s blessing\n10.30 a.m. The Alms-round\, offering of food to the monks\n11.15 a.m. Luch served to the monks and lunch beffet served to the guests\n12.45 p.m. Kathina’s procession and Dhamma Talk by the Abbot\n01.00 p.m. Sermon in Thai\, offering of Kathina robes to the monks and blessing in Pali and Ceremony close. \nMap Parking Info[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
