We hosted this online and celebrated it in the highest spirit and dedicated it as a powerful healing to all those who affected by the pandemic around the world.
We are very grateful to all the venerable monks who joined in chanting and graced the occasion to generate these healing the world. We are extremely grateful to our community who supported us financially and materially to make the ceremony a great success.
It was wonderful and magnificent. Thank you all for supporting to make it a success. Without the generous support of our community this would not have been possible.

Thank you for supporting this year Three Months Rains Retreat Season (Vasana) & Kathina Ceremony. Without which we neither would have lookafter the temple and monks nor hosted such beautiful and bliss ceremony. Despite many challenges, uncertainties and restrictions we managed to practice lots of online spiritual blessings programmes. We are very grateful to those who sponsored those programmes.
We are very grateful to all our devotees, members and well-wishers of the Letchworth Dhamma Nikethanaya Buddhist for their continuous support for the welfare of resident monks and to upkeep the centre noble activities, especially at this very difficult time of Covid-19 Corona Virus Pandemic.
May these strong blessings be with all those who lost their lives, and their loved ones and all those who affected seriously, UK government, NHS Staff and key workers who put their life in risk to save the lives, Devotees who offer dana and donations to maintain the centre..! May these pandemic and all other difficulties be soon finished from our universe and bring all in the whole world together in solidarity and blessings to heal and move forward…!
May the Blessings of this greatest meritorious deed fulfil, without exception the aspirations of all, and lead to the everlasting happiness Nibbana! May all be secure, well and happy with Noble Blessings of the Triple Gem..!
