Ms. Sumalee and Ms Arunee Rattanasiriwilai were the President led the Saffron Robe Invitation Procession in the Picked-up Robe Offering Ceremony. This is for building the international meditation training center. They were the representatives leading others to offer the picked-up robe set. Ms. Laddawan Yongkhunanan and Ms. Passorn Sukniyom was the representative leading others to offer alms. Mr. Songphon Phusa-ard and Ms. Pancharat Kanlabut led the congregation to offer meal as Sangha Dana.
In the afternoon, there was the ceremony of worshipping the Great Master with flowers and fragrances. The Monastic President led the congregation to gild the statue of Luang Pu and place garland first. Then, hosts and laypeople gilded the statue of Luang Pu.
Before Ms Sumalee and Ms Arunee Rattanasiriwilai were the presidents leading the procession to invite rice into the ceremonial center, Ms Arunee was the representative leading them to make a wish of offering rice. On this occasion, the Monastic President kindly taught Dhamma and gave blessings to the congregation as well as told them about the fruits of the ceremonies in that day. It made all participants happy.
