สรุปเนื้อหา
In this text, Monica questions the significance of group meditation, particularly during the Kathina Ceremony. Luang Phaw explains that while individuals typically meditate alone during the week, coming together for mass meditation on Sundays creates unity and generates strong positive mental energy. He stresses that this communal practice has been a tradition since the time of the Buddha. The mass congregation not only rejuvenates individual practice but also inspires others to partake in good deeds, creating an admirable unity among participants. Together, they create an environment of peace and collective mindfulness that can cleanse negativity from the world. The essence of this gathering lies in its ability to motivate and enhance the Buddhist life through shared experiences of meditation.
