This 2011 calendar is an expression of a variety of skills offered by several friends
and supporters. In particular: Tubten Yeshi (January photo), Chinch Gryniewicz (Dec.
photo) and Neil Taylor (design). We are grateful for their generous contributions.
The quotes on each page are extracts from teachings
given by Luang Por Sumedho.
This calendar has been sponsored for free distribution
by generous supporters in Malaysia with gratitude and respect
for the Forest Sangha – Vassa 2010
LUNAR OBSERVANCE DAYS
These days are devoted to quiet reflection at the monastery. Visitors may come
and take the Precepts for the day and join in all or part of the extended evening meditation.
The dates for the lunar calendar are determined by traditional methods of
calculation, and are not always the same as the precise astronomical occurrences.
THE MAJOR FULL-MOON DAYS OF 2011/2554-55
Magha Puja February 18 (‘Sangha Day’)
Commemorates the spontaneous gathering of 1250 arahants, to whom the Buddha
gave the exhortation on the basis of the discipline (Ovada Patimokkha).
Vesakha Puja (Wesak) May 17 (‘Buddha Day’)
Commemorates the birth, enlightenment and passing away of the Buddha.
Asalha Puja July 15 (‘Dhamma Day’)
Commemorates the Buddha’s first discourse, given to the five samanas
in the Deer Park at Sarnath, near Varanasi. The traditional
Rainy-Season Retreat (Vassa) begins on the next day.
Pavarana Day October 12
This marks the end of the three-month Vassa-retreat. In the
following month, lay people may offer the Kathina-robe as
part of a general alms-giving ceremony.
