Abhidhamma Day (Saṅgha Pavāraṇā Day)

【Abhidhamma Day (Pavāraṇā Day)】
Vassa (Rain Retreat) Conclusion — Joint Practice of the Ten Meritorious Deeds | Cultivate Immeasurable Fields of Merit

🍂 As autumn deepens, the Sangha's three-month "Vassa" (Rain Retreat) has reached its successful conclusion.

In this season filled with Dharma joy and gratitude, Dhammajāta Arañña Meditation Society sincerely invites you to participate in the "Abhidhamma Day (Pavāraṇā Day)" joint practice. Let us, with a pure mind, practice the Ten Meritorious Deeds together, cultivate merit and virtue, and grow in wisdom!

📖 【Pearls from the Ocean of Dharma】What is Abhidhamma Day and Pavāraṇā Day?
• Vassa Conclusion: Vassa is an important period for the Sangha to practice diligently and advance on the path. During these three months, monastics remain in one place, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to spiritual cultivation.

• Pavāraṇā Day: On the final day of Vassa, the Sangha holds the "Pavāraṇā" ceremony. Monastics invite one another to point out any faults in their body, speech, or mind, so that they may confess, purify themselves, and cleanse their body and mind. This is also an important monastic discipline established by the Buddha for harmonious co-living within the Sangha.

• Abhidhamma Day: According to tradition, on this day (the 15th day of the 7th month in the ancient Indian calendar, a convergence of multiple Buddhist festivals), the Buddha, after teaching the Abhidhamma to his mother in the Tāvatiṃsa Heaven, returned to the human realm. This day is regarded as extremely auspicious—a day for the Sangha's Pavāraṇā, purification of body and mind, and a fresh start.

As the poster says: "Among all gifts, the gift of Dharma is the most supreme." Let us take this auspicious occasion to perfect our merit and wisdom with a pure mind, jointly build a harmonious Sangha, and benefit all sentient beings.
