Going Forth as Novices

On the beautiful morning of July 7th in the Uposatha Hall (Bot) of Wat Pah Nanachat two new novices joined the Wat Pah Nanachat Sangha in the “Ceremony of Going Forth”: Pakao Gad from Israel, who became Samanera Samattho, and Pakao Vincent from France, who became Samanera Adhisīlo. The Sangha and Lay-community of Wat Pah Nanachat wholeheartedly rejoice in their stepping into the alms-mendicant’s life, wearing the yellow robes, and taking on the training within the Sangha of Wat Pah Nanachat. May their monastic lead them to long lasting peace, deep wisdom and compassion.
