ALBA Day of Practice

On Saturday, July 4, 2009 Amaravati Buddhist Monastery will celebrate three auspicious events in one day.

July 4 this year is the 10th anniversary of the Temple opening on July 4, 1999. This summer also marks 25 years since the Sangha arrived at Amaravati in 1984. These events will be celebrated with an upasampada (higher ordination ceremony) for four men, welcoming them into the Bhikkhu Sangha.

In the Bodhinyana Hall.

This day, sometimes called “Dhamma Day,” commemorates the Buddha’s first discourse, which he gave to the group of five monks with whom he had practised in the forest for many years. The annual Rains Retreat (Vassa) begins the following day.

The Rains Retreat, or Vassa, is a three-month period (full moon of July to the full moon of October) during which time monks and nuns reside in one monastery or dwelling place.
