The Royal Thai Consulate-General of Thailand in Hong Kong SAR participated in the ceremony of presenting robes
Ms. Benjamas
Tanvetyanont, Deputy Consul-General of the Royal Thai Consulate-General of
Thailand in Hong Kong SAR, presided over the ceremony of presenting robes to
monks at the end of Buddhist Lent at Hong Kong Dhammaram Temple On 19th October 2014. A great number of Thai
people living in Hong Kong including the Hong Kong people attended the
ceremony. The merit making was also aimed at raising the fund for the
reconstruction of a new hall of the temple (ubosot) which would be more
convenient for the monks to convene Buddhist ceremonies including ordination
ceremony in Hong Kong. Also, the hall will serve the Buddhists in Hong Kong as
the classroom for Dhamma training. The reconstruction work is expected to be
completed within April 2015.
The Deputy Consul-General also greeted the Thai people who
attended the ceremony. Most of them were domestic helpers in Hong Kong who
showed their unity by helping one another to organize the ceremony, cooking and
donating food, performing cultural dance to pay respect to
Lord Buddha as well.
