The three-month rains retreat (Pali: Vassa) officially ended on October 6 but a ceremony celebrating the occasion is being held today from 9 am to 1 pm at the Lunch Box in Ventura.

Everyone is welcome to join us today for chanting, to make offerings of food and other requisites to the monks, have lunch, and hear a Dhamma talk.

This event is free and open to the public.
