"Just as a line drawn on water with a stick will quickly vanish and will not last long; even so, brahmins, is human life like a line drawn on water. It is short, limited, and brief; it is full of suffering. One should do good and live a pure life; for none who is born can escape death.”
~ The Buddha
AN 7:70

Determining

After a long day’s work, the robe is completed.  The crowds having mostly gone home, the bhikkhus gathered together to perform the official “spreading of the kathina” ceremony.  Bhante Dhammaratana requests the approval of the community and offers everyone to share in the merit of this occasion.  Here you can see him making the determination of the robe for use.  Everything was finished about 9:30 pm.
