About the event
Please join our Dhammadharini Bhikkhuni Sangha Kathina Sangha Gathering “Offering the Robe of Merit” on Saturday October 26th at Dhammadharini Monastery in Penngrove, California.
The Kathina comes at the end of Vassa, the three-month rainy season retreat, and is a celebration of community & generosity. It is the traditional time of year for the lay community to express their support for the monastic Sangha by offering essential requisites (food, clothing, shelter, and medicines).
The central feature of Kathina is the offering of cloth to the Sangha, who awards it to one of their members--in some traditions, this cloth is then sewn into a robe before dawn of the next day. This year, the robe cloth will be offered by recently-retired-president of Dhammadharini support foundation, Susie Kliks. You are most welcome to offer additional cloth or robe or any other requisites for the Kathina as a gesture of welcome and support…
