This year Ven Ajahn Kalyano and four other senior monks have kindly accepted our invitation to join us for the ceremony, giving us a Sangha of eight Bhikkhus:

🔶 Luang Por Kalyano & Ajahn Dta Candavaṃso from Buddha Bodhivana Monastery, Warburton near Melbourne.

🔶 Ajahn Saeang and Ajahn Varadhammo from Bodhisaddha Monastery, Wilton near Sydney

🔶 Ajahn Khantiko from Wat Doi Mongkonsathan Hermitage in Chiang Mai province

🔶️ Our own resident monks Ajahn Dhammasiha, Ajahn Moneyyo & Tan Niddaro

On the day of the ceremony we had a severe wether event, with torrential rains, storms, flooding, and the government issuing a warning to do only 'essential' travel. One of the two main roads to Dhammagiri was already flooded and impassable. Amazingly, some 150 people still came out to join, and they all thoroughly enjoyed it. With their hearts focussed on making good karma through generostiy, observing precepts, and listening to Dhamma, they didn't mind some physical discomfort from inclement weather. Even though the sky was grey 🌧 and raining, our hearts where sunny 🌞, bright, and joyful throughout the event 😊

We all received a beautiful teaching that out true happiness does not depend on external conditions, but on the quality of our heart. A heart filled with goodness and good karma is happy inside, even in adverse external conditions.

Please note ceremony above is not a formal Kathina, but an offering of 'Forest Cloth' (Pali: Pamsukūla) (Thai: Pah Bah), as conducted if less than 5 monks have spent the rains retreat at the monastery.
