#296-Kathina Eve at Dhammikarama Temple 2008

Kathina, which is a Theravada Buddhist celebration or some call it a festival, comes at the end of a 3-month long retreat for the monks in the temple. Last year's one at our usual temple, Dhammikarama Burmese Buddhist temple, was held on the 19th of October. And usually, the night before, we'll be going to the temple for some prayers and a walk around the Sima Hall.
