Join us on 17 Oct for the symbolic robes offering ceremony in Singapore
Payment can be sent via Internet transfer to DBS 0010193783 (Buddhist Research Society) or Paynow to โS81SS0026HBRSโ
Robes offering is an annual event in the Buddhist tradition. Monks during the 4 months of rainy season spend more time in temples and attend to lay devotees by teaching the Dhamma and helping them to practice meditation.
At the end of the season, in order to show their appreciation and to give thanks, lay devotees would choose one day to gather at temples to offer robes to the monks. The Saffron robe symbolises monkhood and renunciation from worldly life. On the other hand, a robe is also one of the 4 requisites essential to monks in their daily lives.
So robe offering is a great meritorious deed a lay Buddhist can do. In the Buddhist Library, this tradition is observed and kept alive as one of our annual events.
Your support for this auspicious event is much appreciated.

Full Moon in October
Abhidhamma Day The Festival of Lights
The Full Moon Day of Thadingyut (October) is
of special significance to the Buddhists, not because it
is the end of the Rains Retreat (Vassa ) but because it
highlights one of the most important events in the life
of Gotama Buddha.
According to Buddhist chronicles, the Tathagata
or Buddha, the Enlightened One, went to the Tavatimsa
Heaven to preach Abhidhamma (Higher Subtleties of
the Dhamma) to His mother, who passed away seven
days after His birth and was reborn in the Tusita Heaven
as a Deva called Santussita.
The Buddha propounded Abhidhamma for the
first time there in the presence of Santussita and other
Devas for 90 days. At the end of the Rains Retreat
(Vassa) i.e. on the Full Moon Day of Thadingyut, the
Tathagata descended to earth (to the human abode) at
the city of Sankassa.
Now Buddhists observe Abhidhamma Day annually
in commemoration of the Buddhaโs return from
the abode of celestials to that of human beings. It is a
significant religious occasion as the Abhidhamma is
really the golden knowledge which will help one to discard
wrong views and to acquire the right views for
oneโs total liberation from all miseries. Buddhists offer
lights to the Buddha image and perform meritorious
deeds on this day in accordance with the tradition which
has been upheld since the life time of the Buddha.
The Festival of Lights in the month of
Thadingyut (October) may seem an occasion for
rejoicing and merry-making but in essence, it is an
auspicious occasion for spiritual delight and merit
making.
