A visit to Nandaka Vihara's Kutis and Sima Building

-
A view of the Sima Building from the main shrine. Have yet to go up there to see the internal part of the building (keeping everyone guessing). This is one of the kutis (monks' quarters) situated in one upper part of the hill. No entry, so have to take the view only from outside.This kuti is situated in one corner of the road leading upwards. Look at the very strong foundation planted at the bottom of the kuti in order to preserve the nature and environmental impact.
This is the first kuti situated at the down hillside viewed from the top. The prayer and meditation mini hall is also situated on top of the kuti.
This is the side view of the first kuti situated on the down hillside. Currently, two visiting Sanghas from Sri Lanka are residing in this kuti for the whole of this Vassa period.
This is a very beautiful fish pond situated near the first hillside kuti which was recently constructed. It beautifies the area there and enhanced the natural habitat over the compound. Sadhu to those who initiated this project.

These are some of the pictures that I had taken today, when making my way up the hill. Looking forward to reach up to the Sima Building very soon (the top one).

Besides, I am also applauded with the way the vihara's committee in managing and preserving the nature and environmental aspects of the hill side. Each site which houses a kuti were also given a preservation of the very natural landscaping with trees, flowers and plants being planted around the compound, of which I truly admired.

More pictures on these kutis would come soon after my exploration.

Sanghika Dana (Charity meant for the order of the Sangha)

-
The Pali word of Sanghika Dana means offering alms and other requisites to the Order of the Sangha. Supposed you donate one dollar to an association, all members rich or poor are entitled to that one dollar. Similarly, if a bowl of alms food or a set of robes is offered to the Sangha, then all members of the order are entitled to those offertories. You need not go around the world to give alms to the Sangha Order. An offer to any member of the Sangha in general will automatically amount to Sanghika Dana. All members are entitled to such offertories. They can share it between them. How to project one's goodwill? In offering Sanghika Dana, a donor's mind must be directed to the Order of the Sangha in general. Even though you utter Samghassa demi , I offer it to the Order of Sangha, if you have in mind a particular monk or a particular monastery, your charity cannot be Sanghika Dana. Offering alms food to any monk on daily alms-round or to a certain monk designated by the Order of...

Meaning of Kathina

-

In the commentary to the Kathinakkhandaka (Section on Kathina) of the Vinaya Pitaka, kathina is defined as a concept of conglomeration which means bringing things together. It is a concept that arises because of certain things that come together. For example: A Bhikkhu/s (Buddhist monk/s) who has/have spent the first vassa; A Sangha (Community of Bhikkhus) comprising at least five bhikkhus; Robe season (the Kathina month) - first month after the end of the first vassa i.e. final month of the rainy season; A rightfully acquired robe - the robe to be donated must not be requested by a member of the Sangha, nor must any hint be given for the robe to be offered, rather the robe must be offered spontaneously by the donor. These are some criterias that come together for the concept of kathina to arise. In fact, two meanings of kathina are given in the Vinaya Commentaries: A frame used during the Buddha's time for sewing double layered robes together. The edges of one robe were fixed to...

I had recently visited the Sammaditthi Meditation Grove (SMG) situated at Lot 617, Tanah Kubur Cina, Sungai Pasir, 08000 Sungai Petani, Kedah. SMG is the latest Buddhist centre of Theravada tradition to be constructed in Sungai Petani. The construction of its Sima Hall had almost completed, kutis (monk's huts) are also been constructed to accommodate the resident and visiting members of the Sangha. Their daily activities include morning pujas, followed by breakfast and lunch danas, where devotees are encouraged to perform their meritorious deeds. Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.
