Today is the full moon of the ‘Assayuja’ month, a significant Buddhist observance marking the conclusion of the three-month Rains Retreat (‘Vassana’) for Theravāda monks. On this sacred Uposatha day, let us come together in faith and devotion to engage in wholesome practices – observing the Eight Precepts, cultivating mindfulness through meditation, chanting, and offering alms to the monastic community.
May this occasion inspire us to renew our commitment to the Dhamma, deepen our practice, and walk steadfastly on the noble path toward liberation.
