Our friends in Thailand recently made a donation on behalf of Triple Wisdom Preservation to Wat Utthayan in Nonthaburi Province for the occasion of the official casting of the first Buddha image and to Samnak Song Luang Bpoo Chawp for the robe offering to mark the end of the rainy season.
Wat Utthayan, Nonthaburi: Casting of the Phra Ong Pathom (the primordial Buddha image).
Luang Pu Chop Monastery, Khlong Sam Wa: Kathina robe-offering ceremony.
Wat Champa, Taling Chan: Offering of tea and coffee for a Parivasa-kamma (monastic discipline/retreat) program involving 158 monks.
Wat Tha Sung, Uthai Thani: Offering of Sangha-dana (alms to the monastic community) and contributions to a Dhamma-dana (Dhamma dissemination) fund; phatikamma (restitution/redemption) for phra chamra ni song (settling debts to the Sangha); and a Kathina robe-offering ceremony.
“A 50-inch seated Buddha statue made of brass, gilded with real gold and adorned with diamonds.”
This auspicious occasion was met with many offerings, chanting, and the offering of robes to the monks which our devoted helpers assisted with.
When you make offerings to Triple Wisdom Preservation, you are supporting meritorious activities like this which keep the traditions of the Buddhadhamma thriving.
