My OperaMagha Puja and the next Angulimala Workshop.
Monday, February 12, 2007 9:02:15 AM
Magha Puja, a major Buddhist occasion in Thailand, celebrates a full moon of the month of Magha when 1,250 Arahant disciples of the Buddha arrived without any prior arrangement at the Bamboo Grove and the Buddha who was living on the Vulture's Peak came down to meet them and recited the Ovada Patimokkha, which includes the well-known summary of what the Buddha taught, 'avoid evil, cultivate good and purify your mind'.
This year Magha Puja falls on Saturday, March 3rd and we will be holding our public celebration the day after on March 4th. As usual we will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and we invite you to join us and to bring vegetarian food to offer and share.
We had intended that the next Angulimala workshop would be held on Saturday, March 3rd but we've since realised that it's going to be a busy enough weekend without that and so we have agreed that it will be held instead on the following Saturday, March 10th.
