Today a group of devoted Lay desired to give robe-cloth for my person, of which Atma refused.
At least they casted the high quality garment of allowed material (no plastic) and pre-dyed in classic Dhammayut-color, maybe enough for one complete or two sets at the Ashram.
user:johann:gallery:archiv2020:20200915_19.jpgAtma took on it for the Sangha and Venerables. As the robe giving time soon approaches, maybe someone feels inspired to take on the garment and cut and sew robes out of it, assists maybe also in sharing.
May one not hesitate to take on the merits in what ever scale.
Last but not least at all: As Bhante
Khemakumara used to have certain joy in prepearing robes, if inspired and some outwardly
kammaṭṭhāna needed, not as a hindrance for more refined of course, Atma would also try to let it possible come to Wat Arkyum.
Robe-month (
cīvaramāsa) is the last month of
Vassa. Robes given at this time are possible easier to handle for Bhikkhus in regard of Vinaya as long as not brought in connection with Vassa or Kathina.
