MBMC Abhidhamma Day 2024

Date: 17 October 2024 (Thursday)
Time: 8pm - 10pm
Venue: MBMC, Shine Hall

Dear brothers & sisters in the dhamma,

In the blink of an eye, the three months of the Vassa (rainy retreat) are about to come to an end, aligning with the end of the Vassa, it's a time for reflection on wisdom and the deeper teachings of the Buddha. 

According to Theravada tradition, it was during the Vassa period that the Buddha ascended to Tavatimsa Heaven to teach the Abhidhamma to his mother. He spent the three months of Vassa there, giving discourses on the profound teachings of the Abhidhamma.

At the end of Vassa, the Buddha is said to have descended from Tavatimsa Heaven to Earth. His return is commemorated as Abhidhamma Day, marking the conclusion of this period of teaching. 

Therefore, all devotee are invited to join us to celebrate this holy and auspicious day. Join us in Abhidhamma chanting and candle lighting. Anyone is interested in donation for candle lighting ceremony, please register: https://form.jotform.com/242841944371460
