For Your Information about Khao Phansa:
Thailand’s Khao Phansa festival marks the beginning of the annual, three-month rains retreat for monastics (Pali: vassavasa), beginning the day after the full moon of the eighth lunar month. The specific dates of the rains retreat therefore vary, depending on when the full moon begins in June-July and when it ends in September-October of the Theravada Buddhist lunar calendar. This year, Khao Phansa began on 25 July and will end on 21 October.
Vassavasa originated in India as a period during which the ancient monastic order ceased their itinerant activities for three months during the monsoon season. The Buddha advised his disciples to observe the rains retreat for two main reasons. Firstly, the monsoons during this time made travel by foot in India somewhat dangerous—paths were muddy, roads were covered with water, and rivers overflowed. Secondly, there was a greater potential of inadvertantly causing harm to animals—when monks walked during the rainy season, they found themselves accidentally stepping on or injuring all kinds of wildlife, including creatures that came up to the earth’s surface during and immediately after the rains. While all monks and nuns were expected to observe the rains retreat, the Buddha granted a leave period of up to seven days under certain circumstances, such as attending to matters of the sangha, giving a Dhamma teaching, or visiting a sick relative.
At some unspecified point in history, the term “Buddhist Lent” was carelessly attached to vassavasa by observers who noticed that some lay Buddhists in Southeast Asia fasted during the rains retreat, invoking parallels with the Christian Lent (despite vassavasa predating Lent by more than five centuries). In Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, many devoted lay Buddhists do indeed observe vassavasa by adopting more ascetic practices such as giving up meat, alcohol, and tobacco. They also engage in meritorious activities, including offering alms to the sangha, observing the Eight Precepts, practicing meditation, and listening to Dhamma talks.
In Thailand, Khao Phansa heralds a time for renewed spiritual activity. Meritorious acts associated with Khao Phansa involve donations of carved wax candles to temples, which the monks use as visual aids while chanting Buddhist texts through the night and performing other functions. Candle processions also take place throughout the country. Some of the most famous provincial processions are the International Wax Candle Festival and Wax Candle Procession in Ubon Ratchathani, the Candle Festivals in Nakhon Phanom and Suphanburi, the Korat Candle Procession Festival in Nakhon Ratchasima, and Saraburi’s Tak Bat Dok Mai (Floral Merit-making) and Royal Candle Festival.
