Wazo-robe Offering Ceremony
(30-7-15 ~ 31-7-15)
It
is the custom for Burmese Buddhist to offer Waso-robe to the monks for
the purpose of wearing it during their three-month-lent which begins on
the first waning day of Waso and ends on the full-moon-day of
Thadingyut. Accordingly, it is an annual religious event for Meiktila
University to hold Waso-robe offering ceremony on the full-moon-day of
Waso, the fourth month of Burmese calendar. Following the
well-established tradition, the ceremony was also held today, the
full-moon-day of Waso, just the day before the beginning of the Buddhist
lent, at the University community centre for religious purpose. During
the ceremony, Waso-robes, provisions and alms food were offered to the
Buddhist monks, and Rector, Pro-Rectors and staff of Meiktila University
received eight precepts from the monks and shared the merits gained.
