‘Pa Bah’ Offering Ceremony – Sunday, July 5
/A “Pa Bah” almsgiving ceremony will be held at the monastery on Sunday, July 5, 2026, from 10.15 a.m.–2.30 p.m. This is a traditional occasion in Theravada Buddhist countries when members of the lay community ask to come together at the monastery in a formal way in order to offer material support to the monastic community. This July some of our Thai-American friends have asked to offer a Pa Bah to honor the visit of senior Thai disciples of Ajahn Chah. The occasion includes informal opportunities to meet the sangha and others in the wider lay community. One or more Dhamma Talks will be offered by the visiting elders, after an alms-round and shared meal and the ceremony for the offering of requisites.
Everyone is most welcome to come for all or any part of the day, whether bringing offerings or just wishing to hear a Dhamma Talk or visit with the sangha.
