The Monks and Board of Directors of Wat Dhammarangsey warmly invite all members and friends to participate in the Kathina Celebration.
This special Robe-Offering ceremony, initiated by the Buddha, encourages the care and support of monks who have observed the traditional three-month rainy season retreat (Vassa or Buddhist Lent). In keeping with this tradition, the lay community of Wat Dhammarangsey will offer Kathina Robes to the monks.
