Waso Day Celebration on 11th July

The day of Waso marks the day of the Buddha's first sermon and the start of a monsoon season retreat. The full moon day was actually fall on 7th July this year. A simple ceremony of chanting and Dhamma talk had been conducted on this date.

However, the actual celebration of Waso Day was conducted by PSMC on Saturday (11th July), so that more dhamma friends could join the ceremony together.  It is the second Vassa at Smithfield meditation centre.

There were 6 monks on Waso Day. The ceremony started with food offering at 11.00am. The generosity and compassion of donors can be witnessed from the varieties of food, the way they were prepared and served. Our dhamma friends took this good chance to have luncheon, sharing and gathering together.

The chanting ceremony started at 1.00pm. It was then followed by a session of Dhamma Talk from  Sayadaw U Pannathami with a message about the benefits of offering Vassa Robe.

The robe offering session started at 2.30pm and the devotees took this opportunity to do meritorious deeds. Besides robe offering, some devotees had also donated household product and food to monks.

PSMCI would like to thank all the volunteers and devotees for the participation.

SADHU! SADHU! SADHU!
