At the beginning of August we started the Retreat of the Rains, one of the three fundamental practices that the Buddha entrusted to the monastic Sangha.
For 45 days, from August 9th to September 21st, we dedicated ourselves to prayers, sutra recitations, and specific practices, in a spirit of reflection and continuity with tradition.
Last weekend, the retreat concluded with a final ceremony and, as is customary, a communal lunch. A moment of joy and gratitude, in which we dedicated the merit we had accumulated for the benefit of all sentient beings.
A heartfelt thank you to those who supported the Sangha with their closeness and offerings during this precious time.
