Holding Pravaranà Ceremony after observing the Rain-Retreat (Buddhist Era 2570 / 2026).

In the morning of Aug. 22nd, 2025 (July 09th, LC), monks from Hoang Phap Pagoda gathered at Giac Nguyen Pagoda, the rain-retreat school of the DB of VBS in Hoc Mon Commune to attend the Pravaranà ceremony.

The Pravaranà rite in the Buddhist spirit is a monk respectfully asking for another monk to show his faults on the actions that were caused by his body, mouth and thoughts. This is an important Dharma established by the Buddha to provide Bhikkhus with the opportunity to recognize their shortcomings and sincerely repent, thereby attaining purification. As a result, the Sangha becomes perfect, deserves to be a field of blessings for the donors, the growth of the Precepts-Concentration-Wisdom of a bhikkhu. Thanks to this, the spirit of harmony and purity within the Sangha is increasingly being preserved and upheld.  After this ritual, the Bhikkhu added one year old of the rain retreat, meaning 1 year old of religion.
