At 23 November 2008, Ratana Graha celebrates its 3rd birthday. Ratana Graha locates at Komplek Green Ville, Blok AL no. 3, West Jakarta. Guests (childrens, teenagers, adults, parents, etc.) come to fill all rooms. All floors are full. There is enthusiastic from their face. The events of Ratana Graha’s birthday are varying. Concise dhamma is talked by YM. B. SADDHAVIRO THERA (Ratana Graha’s head). In this event, Ratana Graha also receives government’s financial support. Ratana Graha’s birthday is closed by cutting of tumpeng and simple talk (ramah tamah). We need to be happy because it is said that Ratana Graha’s land is private own. It is noted that Ratana Graha’s administrators do not forget to do social activity (baksos) with giving 87 pouches of rice to securities. I hope everyone enjoy Ratana Graha’s birthday. Congratulations!

Kathina is a Buddhist holiday. Kathina month is a good opportunity to fund that monks have just already finished Vassa period. I celebrate Kathina (Kathina Puja 2552) at Ratana Graha, 2 November 2008.Kathina is valuable opportunity for everyone who fund to monks with sincerity. Please we use this good opportunity to plant goodness to monks with giving four main needs (Catupaccaya): robe (Civara), food (Pindapatta), medicines (Bhesajja), and living place (Senasana). But, now the fund is given in the form of cash money because it is more flexible.
The celebration of Kathina passes enthusiastically. All of three floors are full of approximately 250 persons. This event is attended by 6 monks. YM Saddhaviro Thera sends dhamma about Kathina’s signification. We can add goodness with funding in sincere. The quantity (big or small) is not important. It can be said that Kathina’s fund is high valuable fund.
There is a great news from 58 years- old man, Edi Wijaya. He has already contributed his blood to PMI (Palang Merah indonesia) for 104 times. WOW!
Hopefully; this funding can add good karma!
HAPPY KATHINA DAY 2558 BE/ 2008!
Sabbe Satta Bhavantu Sukhitatta,
Semoga Semua Makhluk Hidup Berbahagia!
Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
Kathina
