Kathina Ceremony – Amaravati
October 29, 2006 10:02 am
Today I went to Amaravati Buddhist Monastery to attend the Kathina Ceremony. It’s quite an experience, the monks there lives a very simple life and it reminds me of what I really need in life. The temple is very nice and I would recommend you to go. Their retreats are very propular, they have long retreats and some shorter one (weekend) which would be a good start on finding out more about Buddhism and the temple. Have a look at their website if you have time:
I took some photos, but haven’t got my k800i working with my computer. Will upload some photos when I get it working. Also I was reading a a book that I got from AMTB UK on Pure-Land Zen, Zen Pure-Land, it’s a book on Letters from Patriarch Yin Kuang. It’s a very good book and I’m enjoying it. I read the Chinese version before and I was very happy to find the English version. Have a look at this page for a question and answer that I quoted from this book on:
Will be quoting more from the book later
