In November 2024, Birmingham Buddhist Maha Vihara warmly hosted the Annual Kathina Robe Ceremony, an important event in the Buddhist calendar. The ceremony, held on Sunday, November 17th, brought together the Sinhala Buddhist community in the UK for a day of spiritual reflection and merit-making. The event featured a Kathina Robe procession, the offering of Buddha Pooja, and alms to the Sangha community, culminating in the presentation of the Kathina Robe. Devotees gathered to rejoice in the accrued merits and enjoyed a shared lunch, fostering a sense of unity and cultural continuity.
We recently celebrated significant milestones at the Birmingham Buddhist Maha Vihara Pagoda, including its 1st Anniversary, the Birthday Blessings Programme for Ven. Dr. Witharandeniye Kassapa Nayaka Thero, and the opening of the Research Centre of Pali & Buddhist Studies with our second peer-reviewed journal launch. We also marked the 1st Anniversary of Bright TV UK. Thank you to everyone who joined us in these special celebrations!
