Since the time of the Buddha, it is traditional for the Sangha to spend the 3-month Rains Retreat (VASSA) in one location. Lay supporters invite the Sangha to stay in a certain place and pledge to provide whatever support Sangha members may require in terms of requisites.

 

Bhante and Sister have been invited to spend Vassa 2025 in retreat at Aloka. Although they may not be meeting devotees personally, they will be dedicating the merits of their practice for the wellbeing of all members, devotees and sponsors.

 

If you would like to participate in the meritorious deed of supporting the needs of the Sangha and those staying at Aloka during this period, you are welcome to make a contribution by filling in the Rains Retreat sponsorship form:

May this merit accrue unto your spiritual wellbeing and happiness, and to the wellbeing and happiness of the many.
