Pavarana is a Buddhist holy day celebrated on the full moon of the eleventh lunar month . It marks the end of the month of Vassa , sometimes called Buddhist Lent. This day marks the end of the rainy season in some Asian countries like Thailand , where Theravada Buddhism is practiced. On this day, each monk Pali bhikkhu must come before the community of monks Sangha and atone for an offense he may have committed during the Vassa. Most Mahayana Buddhists do not observe Vassa, though many Son Thien monks in Korea and Vietnam do observe an equivalent retreat of three months of intensive practice in one location. Origins In India, where Buddhism began, there is a three month long rainy season. According to the Vinaya Mahavagga, Fourth Khandhaka, section I , in the time of the Buddha, once during this rainy season, a group of normally wandering monks sought shelter by co habitating in a residence. In order to minimize potential inter personal strife while co habitating, the monks agreed to remain silent for the entire three months and agreed upon a non verbal means for sharing alms. After this rains retreat, when the Buddha learned of the monks silence, he described such a measure as foolish. Instead, the Buddha instituted the Pavarana Ceremony as a means for dealing with potential conflict and breaches of disciplinary rules Patimokkha during the vassa season. The Buddha said I prescribe, O Bhikkhus, that the Bhikkhus, when they have finished their Vassa residence, hold Pav ran with each other in these three ways by what offence has been seen, or by what has been heard, or by what is suspected. Hence it will result that you live in accord with each other, that you atone for the offences you have committed , and that you keep the rules of discipline before your eyes. And you ought, O Bhikkhus, to hold Pav ran in this way Let a learned, competent Bhikkhu proclaim the following atti motion before the Samgha Let the Samgha, reverend Sirs, hear me. To day is the Pav ran da ... more details
