Dear friends,
We are inviting you to our Pha Pa festival and pabbajja (novice) ordination at Samanadipa Monastery, taking place on the 19th of May.
What is Vesak?
Vesak, also known as Vesākha, is a Buddhist celebration that commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of the ascetic Gautama, the historical Buddha.
What is Pha Pa?
Pha Pa is a Thai Buddhist celebration geared towards supporting monks and their activities. It is a time for the lay community to come together and make merit by offering cloth and other requisites to the monks.
