The Kathina ceremony is one of the most meritorious deeds we can perform in our human life. It is held only once a year after the conclusion of the Vassana period/rainy retreat. Becoming a key sponsor for this ceremony is a precious and rare opportunity to enhance our spiritual life. We invite you to become key sponsors of our Kathina ceremonies for the next five (5) years by indicating the year in which you would like to participate. You can sponsor the Kathina ceremony as an individual family or as a group. You can also invite your friends to co-sponsor the ceremony with you. This invitation is open to any family living anywhere in the US.
Kathina ceremony usually falls on October of each year.
