Opening up on Asalha Puja

Wat Pah Nanachat is gradually opening up for the public again. On the Buddhist holiday commemorating the Buddha’s first teaching, “Asalha Puja”, after registering and scanning the body-temperature, washing hands, equipped with face masks, many people joined the usual ceremonies on this auspicious occasion: determining to practice according to the Buddhist lay-precepts, offering food and requisites to the Sangha, and listening to Ajahn Kevali giving a talk about the Dhammacakkappavattana-Sutta. For keeping the required physical distance, the monastery could not yet allow people to eat the remaining food together in the kitchen, but the kitchen crew was able to provide some take-away snacks for all. In the evening people were welcome to come for mediation, reciting the Dhammacakkappavattana-Sutta and listening o the Dhamma again.
