We warmly invite you and your family to participate in our annual Kathina celebration—a time-honoured tradition of generosity, community, and spiritual growth. This year, we’re embracing sustainable change to create a cooler, greener meditation centre in the face of climate challenges.
Dear brothers & sisters in the Dhamma,
You are warmly invited to the Vassa Entry Ceremony on Thursday, 10 July 2025, at 8:00 p.m. in MBMC. (Programme details are on the poster.)
This gathering marks the start of the Rains Retreat (Vassa)—a period of concentrated meditation, deep study of the Dhamma, and heightened ethical discipline. For lay practitioners, it is also a time of renewed generosity (dāna), active support for the Sangha, and a rededication to personal vows and mindfulness. Your presence will enrich the occasion and strengthen our shared practice.
If you wish to express generosity and help sustain the Sangha throughout the three-month Rains Retreat, you may make an offering for requisites via the link: https://form.jotform.com/221832240327043
