Vassa

בשביל מה המסע הזה

Vassa is the Buddhist rains retreat, about three months from roughly July to October, moving each year with the lunar calendar. It is mainly kept by monks and nuns, who stay in one place to practise, while lay people support them and often take on a small commitment for the season. This journal follows those months with a short passage from the early Buddhist texts, a question and a small practice each day. You do not need any prior knowledge, or to observe Vassa, to use it, in season or at any time of year.
