Boun Kathin (Khatina)

Boun Kathin (Kathina in Pali)  is a Theravada Buddist Festival. It is celebrate at the end of Vassa (Buddhist Monk Rainy Season Retreat)   sometime during November. This is the only time when a community can donate robe to the monks and make other donations. Think of it as a mega alms-giving. 

I will be at Watlao Rockwall for Boun Kathin tomorrow.  I make sure to take a lot of pictures.
