There will also be alms-round (Pindapata), in which devotees will
have the opportunity to offer food and
other requisites to nine Venerable Monks including Ven Dr
Pannyawamsa, gracing the ceremony.

available are sets of Eight Requisites ($50

Counseling Center for lunch and we will share
with them some Buddhist teaching.

cultural dance and songs as well as their
cuisine for all on that day.
On that day, volunteers from Shan You Counseling Center will be
