Abhayagiri Kathina Ceremony 2023

Abhayagiri
Streamed live on Nov 12, 2023
Each year since the time of the Buddha, at the end of the three-month Rains Retreat, the lay community around Buddhist monasteries have gathered to celebrate the completion of the retreat and to offer to the monastic community gifts of cloth and supplies that will be useful for the coming year. The cloth is then cut, sewn and dyed by the monks to make a robe on that day to offer to one bhikkhu of the sangha’s choosing. This 2,500-year-old tradition is still carried on here in the West in Theravadan monasteries. It is both a significant and joyful occasion that, over time, has become emblematic of the richness of the relationship that exists between the lay people and the monastics. This relationship is characterized by deep bonds of friendship and commitment to mutual support. All year round, the monastery functions solely on offerings from the lay community.
The Abhayagiri community held the 2023 Kathina Ceremony on Sunday, November 12th. Luang Por Amaro, the abbot of Amaravati Monastery in England, was in attendance, as well as Ajahn Sudanto, the abbot of Pacific Hermitage in Washington State.
