This is an apt occasion to reconsider how and why Buddhist devotees make these offerings to the mahasangha. References are made often in the Buddhist texts to the monks Four Requisites consisting of (I.) Robe, (II.) Alms, (III.) Lodgings and (IV.) Medicine. Popularly, these four requisites are known as food, clothing, shelter and medicine, the requirements of any human being to lead a normal life. Introduction of Eight Requisites I. At the beginning of the dispensation since monks had not been enjoined a specific attire, they followed the ascetics of that time and used to pick up pieces of cloth thrown away in cemeteries and garbage heaps and stitched them together as outer garments. They dyed them with cow-dung or yellow clay but they soon became badly coloured and foul smelling. Once the Buddha saw a paddy field in Magadha, partitioned attractively with banks and cross-banks for irrigational purposes and suggested the design of the paddy field for stitching up pieces of cloth of different sizes to make the robes of monks. This innovative design gave a pleasant tailoring finish to the robe as well as the double and inner robe which were later prescribed as the remaining two of the threefold set of monks garments. In a later occasion, considering the colour and the smell, dyes made of roots, trunks, barks, leaves, flowers and fruits of trees were prescribed. With the gradual growth of the dispensation, it was necessary to add five more items to this set of three, making it a set of Eight Requisites (Atthaparikkhara), namely; Robe, Double robe, Inner robe, Belt or Girdle, Alms Bowl, Razor and Needle with thread and Water-Strainer. Monks were allowed to accept them from devotees when they were offered. II. The normal practice was for the monks to go on alms round for food. In addition to going for alms round, they were allowed to accept food offered on invitation and offered at their lodgings. III. At the earliest stage of the dispensation, monks lived in caves or on heaps of straw or under the foot of trees. But later, the Buddha allowed lodgings of different kinds. IV. Seeing some monks afflicted with an autumnal disease, monks had been allowed to use ghee, fresh butter, oil (sesame oil, mustard oil, oil containing honey, castor oil and oil from tallow) honey and molasses as medicine. The Buddha paid special attention to ailing monks and set an example by attending to them personally. With the evolution of the dispensation, not only numerous kinds of medicine and medical facilities were prescribed but also medical wards with attendant monks were allowed to be setup in monasteries. 1 continue on page 2
2 What is Kathina and Robe Offering? Kathina is the robe or the robe material offered by devotees at the end of the three months Rainy Retreat. Being grateful to services rendered in the form of assistance to their spiritual growth, devotees offer the Kathina robe to the monks who observe the retreat at that particular premises. This is a robe that can be offered only once a year, in a monastery where a higher ordained monk or monks have observed the retreat. The offering of Kathina is described in the early Buddhist texts as an extraordinary meritorious deed yielding many happy returns for the donors. Other additional robes offered on the Kathina day are distributed among monks who are in need of robes, perhaps in other countries as well. May all beings be well and happy! Ven. Dr. P. Gnanarama Maha Thero Kathina Day At Ti-Sarana Buddhist Association As Ven. Gnanarama wrote in the foreword of this newsletter, the offering of Kathina robe is an extraordinary meritorious deed yielding many happy returns for the donors. It can be offered only once a year where a higher ordained monk or monks have observed the three months Vassana retreat at that particular premises. Hence, you are encouraged to offer robes or the eight requisites to the Sangha to show your respect, appreciation and gratitude to the Sangha. Order(s) for the robes [at $40 each] or eight requisites [at $80 per set] or other offerings can be placed by completing the attached form provided with this newsletter and submission made to the Honorary Treasurer, Ti-Sarana Buddhist Association. This year, the annual Kathina and Robe Offering Ceremony at Ti-Sarana Buddhist Association will be held on 29 October After the Kathina Ceremony, these robes will be brought to Sri Lanka in December These robes will be offered to the monks who will be invited to the 100 th year anniversary celebration at Ven. Dr. Gnanarama s temple at Colombo, Sri Lanka and the opening ceremony of Ven. Ratanasiri s Metta Youth Centre at Matara, Sri Lanka. You are invited to attend Kathina and the Robe Offering Ceremony at Ti-Sarana Buddhist Association on 29 October 2006 (Sunday). The Kathina Programme is on page 8 of this newsletter. Do come with your family, relatives and friends to share the joy and merits of offering robes to the Sangha. You will be able to participate in the cutting of the Civara cloth before it is sewn into a Kathina Robe for offering to our Venerables during the Evening Puja Service at 7.30 pm. 2
