The Kathina Ceremony marks the end of the Rains Retreat. On this day we rejoice in having spent the past three months at the Wat dedicated to the cultivation peace and kindness. This is a rare opportunity to take part in an old and inspiring Buddhist ceremony and a chance to make new friends.

The core values that are celebrated during the Kathina Ceremony are those that make living together in harmony possible; qualities like kindness, compassion, patience and acceptance. In our sometimes confusing and competitive world, it is important to remember that our own sense of well-being cannot be secure unless it is founded on acts of generosity and goodwill to others.

The ceremony will include taking the Three Refuges and Five Precepts, auspicious chanting and a Dhamma talks by LP Sucitto, Ajahn Khemavaro and Ajahn Chaiyaporn. After the ceremony there will be a monastery tour, where visitors can see some monks’ huts.
