The tradition of Vassana (Rainy Retreat) was started during the time of the Buddha. Full ordained Buddhist Monks and lay followers all over the world continue to observe the Rainy Retreat for a duration of three months, from the full moon day in July to the full moon day in October. During this time, they dedicate their time to spiritual activities such as practicing meditation and studying the Dhamma. This gives an opportunity for lay community to take care of the Monks by offering them food, drinks, medicine etc. and also to participate in spiritual activities during this time.

You are all kindly invited to participate in this meritorious activity.
As a part of safety requirements, kindly follow the attached parking plan.

May the Blessings of Noble Triple Gem be with you!
