The Sangha and Board of Directors of Wat Dhammarangsey invite you, your family, and friends to celebrate Bon Vaisakha Puja at our temple.
Bon Vaisakha Puja is the year’s greatest religious holiday which commemorates the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and parinibbana (death). This commemoration includes Bon Pka Prak (also known as Money Tree) ceremony. As Bon Vaisakha Puja begins, many Khmers rise early to visit the temple to offer food to the monks and receive merit for their generosity.
Devotees will undertake procession around the Viha building to raise fund for operations and continuing improvements at Wat Dhammarangsey temple. May the angel of 2022 blesses you for peace, prosperity, good health and happiness.
