The ceremony was presided by Most Venerable Member of the Vietnam Buddhist Sangha’s Executive Council cum Abbot of Candaransi Pagoda Danh Lung, and attended by a large number of Khmer Theravada Buddhists.

During the event, Most Venerable Danh Lung took the chance to speak on the meaning of Kathina robe-offering ceremony.

Robes offering is an annual event of Theravada Buddhism in Vietnam right after the summer retreat season. Monks during the four months of rainy season spend more time in temples and attend to lay devotees by teaching the Dharma 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.
