SUMMARY:Thadingyut Full Moon Day  သီတင်းကျွတ် လပြည့်နေ့
DESCRIPTION: \nTHADINGYUT FULL MOON DAY / ABHIDHAMMA DAY / PAVARANA DAY \nThadingyut Full Moon Day or Thadingyut Festival is a festival of lights and the second most popular festival in Myanmar after Water Festival (Thingyan). Burmeses celebrate it for 3 days: the day before the full moon day\, the full moon day and the day after the full moon day\, generally in October. During the festival days\, streets\, houses and buildings are lighted up with candles\, lanterns and coloured electric bulbs to welcome the Buddha’s descent from the Tavatimsa Heaven (တာဝတိံသာ) after he preached the Abhidhamma to his mother\, Maya Devi\, who was reborn in the Tavatimsa Heaven. \nIn some places\, monks and devotes gather in a community hall and chant Abhidhamma together on this day. So\, in Myanmar\, this Thadingyut full moon day is also known as Abhidhamma Day. \nThadingyut full moon day is the last day of Vassavasa period. On this day every Theravada monks must come to the community of monks (Sangha) and atone for any offense he may have committed during Vassavasa period. This is called Pavarana (ပဝါရနာ ပြုသည်). After the Pavarana\, the devotees offer requisites to each monks who participates in the Pavarana. So\, in Myanmar\, this Thadingyut full moon day is also known as Pavarana Day. Following the same practice\, young people pay homage to elders during this periods and ask for forgiveness if they have committed any harm. This become one of the Burmese beautiful cultures. \nBurmese believe that wedding during Vassavasa period is inappropriate. Therefore\, weddings during the Vassavasa period are rare in Myanmar. After the Thadingyut full moon day weddings can be celebrated happily and auspiciously. \n

SUMMARY:Kathina Celebration ကထိန်ပွဲ
DESCRIPTION: \nKATHINA ROBE OFFERING \nKathina civara means robes offered to the sangha during the kathina ceremony. \nOffering of kathina robes was originally made to a group of bhikkhus known as the Bhaddavaggi Brothers of Paveyya region. The Buddha allowed a special form of robe offering to the members of the Sangha who were in need of robes. One-month period from the full moon day of October to the full moon day of November was prescribed as the period\, during which\, kathina robes may be offered. This special offering is purely voluntary. Bhikkhus are not supposed to ask for such offering even from their own parents. Robes are offered to the Sangha and not to any individual bhikkhu. These offerings are placed before the members of the Sangha who have observed their rains retreat. A prescribed ritual is held in a Sima (hall) by the Sangha before distributing the offerings to the needy bhikkhus in the presence of the assembly. This special offering of robes brings five kinds of benefit to the donors: \nThese five benefits are as follows: \n\nThe donor will always have safe journey without worry\, danger or obstacle.\nThey will never suffer shortage of food and will not be harmed by poisoned food.\nThey will not suffer loss by robbery or theft.\nThey will not suffer loss by natural disasters.\nThey can easily accomplish what they set out to do.\n\n
