Royal Kathina 2010 at Wat Chetawan, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia

Kathina Ceremony is a ceremony originated by Lord Buddha for the welfare of the Sangha more than 2500 years ago. It is celebrated at the end of the Rains-Retreat (Vassa). Kathina is a Pali word that means a frame used for sewing robes those days in India. This year's Kathina Ceremony is a special occasion - The King of Thailand, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has consented to send Royal Kathina Robe as an offering to The Sangha. Hence, a Royal Kathina. A honour that reflected His Majecty's special consideration and compassion towards Wat Chetawan.
