Dear Devotees
It is with great pleasure I wish to inform that Ālōkō Buddhist Center successfully concluded its Second Kathina Ceremony on 16 November 2021.
This year’s Kathina was made possible by Mr. Ranjith Suranga and his family when they invited me and Ven. Hemasiri to spend the three-months’ rains retreat (‘Vassana Retreat’) and sponsoring the Kathina. During the three months, he took care of the monks’ needs and requisites.
An incomplete Kuti (room) was also completed and offered to the Maha Sangha in conjunction with Kathina.
I wish to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all who participated, sponsored and to all those who tirelessly helped in the preparation of this event. Your selfless act of generosity, contribution and support made this event a success.
My utmost respect and gratitude also go to the Bhikkhu Sangha.
To the devotees from USA, Malaysia and Vietnam who sponsored the ‘pirikera’ for the Maha Sangha, a big thank you and Sadhu to all of you. [see the list below].
By the merits accrued from this great meritorious deed, may all of you be blessed with good health, happiness and long life. May the merits accrued be shared with all beings.
May the blessings of the Noble Triple Gem be upon you.
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
With Metta
Bhanthe G. Dhammaloka
