From our November newsletter: ☔️“ Changing Seasons” 🌧️
Across cultures, the turning of seasons is marked in different ways—by the stars, the weather, or other measures of change. In Buddhist countries, one of the most significant seasons is the monsoon, just concluded. Vassa (the rains retreat) marks a three-month period, from July through October, when Theravāda monks remain in one place for deeper study and practice. This ancient observance dates back to the time of the Buddha and has been honored for more than 2,500 years.
