Royal Kathina ceremony, an offering a robe, is a tradition that Buddhists have been practising for over 2500 years.
Royal Kathina-Robe Offering is considered one type of offerings because the offering can be made to the monastic community without specifying any one monk in particular.
The ceremony takes place only during the month following the end of the Vassa. At the ceremony, people make a special offering of a cloth and, in addition, other requisites to the Sangha and raising funds to support the centre and its activities. Therefore, everyone is cordially invited to participate in the Kathina-Robe Offering Ceremony as venerable monks have earnestly observed Buddhist Lent for the past three months will act as our fertile fields of merit. This year's Kathina will be a communal offering and led by pious devotees and supporters of the centre.
