ຕັກບາດ ບຸນເຂົ້າພັນສາ – Boun Kaophansa
July 5 @ 8:00 am - 2:00 pm
Buddhist Lent is a period of three lunar months during the rainy season when monks are required to remain in one particular place or Wat (temple). Monks and novices have to swear themselves to live in the same place. They can’t stay in the other places overnight. During this period, monks are practicing meditation more than usual. Every full moon day, monks have to gather in one temple to recite “Phadhimoka” or 227 rules of monk. Khao Phansa Day is on the first day after the full moon of the eighth lunar month and marks the beginning of the three-month rainy season.
