As our Lord Buddha advised, ordained Buddhist Bhikkhus should observe a Rains Retreat four months of every year. This noble tradition was followed at the Mahamevnawa International Meditation Centre located in Basildon, Essex over the last few months. A Dharma Programme was conducted on the 5th of November 2011 to mark the end of the Rains Retreat which consisted of preaching of Dharma, practicing of meditation and chanting of Pirith in Pali and Sinhalese throughout the night. Approximately 500 devotees joined this great event and obtained a great deal of merits. Various offerings were given to the Bhikkhus by devotees the next morning which concluded the Dharma Programme. May all the merits gained be shared by everyone with joyful minds. |
