The Sangha and Board of Directors of Wat Dhammarangsey would like to invite you, your family, and friends to attend Kathina Celebration Samaki at our Temple.
The Kathina Celebration or Robe-Offering Ceremony was initiated by the Buddha to promote the care of Monks who observed the traditional three months rainy season retreat (Buddhist Lent). Samaki means “unity" or "solidarity” in Khmer.
