Entering the Chapter House, Bearing Gifts
Here, we are entering the monastic chapter house where the ceremony will be held. In the white bags we each have six packets of betel to offer as gifts. We each will be assisted by an upajjhaya (preceptor) and two kammavacariyas (teachers) on the bhikkhuni side, and again on the bhikkhu side. | |

"And what, monks, is that path, that way of attaining final Nibbana without clinging? It is this Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right concentration. This is the path, the way for the fading away of lust.”
~ The Buddha
