One-day
retreat
Asalaha
Puja: Thursday, July 21, 2005
Asalaha Puja is celebrated on the full-moon day of the eighth lunar
month. It is a sacred day for Buddhists. On this day, the Lord Buddha
gave his first sermon and one of his followers became the first Buddhist
monk. The followers of the Buddha are together called the Sangha, and
that is why Asalaha Puja is called 'Sangha Day'.
During the one-day retreat, we will be paying respect to the Buddha
(The Great Teacher), the Dhamma (The Truth) and the Sangha (The community
of those genuinely seeking the Truth), practising walking and sitting
meditation in the Vipassana (Insight) Meditation tradition, and listening
to a Dhamma talk on the Noble Eightfold Path.
