Pha Pah - Cloth Offering Ceremony (Kathina season)

We would like to invite everyone for Pha Pah during the kathina season at Skiptvet Buddhist Monastery.

On Sunday, the 12nd of October, we will host the traditional celebration to mark the end of the rain retreat. 

For centuries, it has been customary for lay supporters to offer robe material and other requisites to the sangha who have spent the three months of the vassa in a monastery.
