Pavarana Day at the end of the Rains-Retreat 2023

The last day of the rains-retreat is marked by a gathering of the sangha called “Pavarana” (invitation), which is a ceremony where each monk gives the others the invitation to address him regarding any shortcomings or concerns by body speech and mind, so that he can make amends before possibly parting ways. After having completed the three month period of retreat, the monks may travel again.
