<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">One may wonder
as to why the offerings made at the time of Vassana rains
retreat bring more merits. The reason why Katina offering takes the pride
of place has to be assessed from the point of view of conditions
which prevailed in India in the sixth century, B.C.Before the
common era the Sangha were those who had abandoned the house hold
life to the homeless life who had to get about their four-fold
requisites, alms, robes, shelter and medicine.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The intensity of
the monsoon rains made their life extremely difficult.There were no
proper roads and also there were uncleared large forest tracks.
At times rains compelled monks to remain indoors and at times they
were deprived of food apart from other requisites.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Hence offerings
made during Vassana assumed a greater significance and verily
greater merits.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The origin of
the Katina - Cheevara is related in Mahavagga. When the Buddha was
residing at Savatti about 30 monks left Pava in Kosala with the
intention of observing Vas with the Buddha. Because
of heavy rains they were unable to reach Savatti and were forced
to stay at Saketa a few leagues away where they observed Vas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">After concluding
the rain retreat at Saketa they resumed their journey to Savatti to
pay obeisance to the Buddha.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">By the time they
met the Buddha all the monks were fully franked to the skin,
their robes were soaked with rainwater and also covered with mud.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Buddha felt
very sympathetic towards these monks who were shivering with
cold and realised that if they had an extra robe they could have
washed the robes they were clad in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">So the Buddha
bought in a rule that a monk who had observed Vas and finished
Pavarana could possess another robe in addition to the set of three
prescribed earlier ‘Vassam Vutthanam Bhikkunam Katinam.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the Mahavagga
Pali it describes about the procedures for an Uposatha meeting
the assembly of Sangha on every Full Moon day,and on the 14th
or 15th day of lunar month when Patimokkha, a summary of disciplinary
rules is recited. Then there are rules to be observed in
Vassana for the rains retreat as well as those for the formal ceremony of
Pavarana the conclusion of rains retreat, in which a Bhikku invites
criticism from his brethren suspected about his conduct.There are also
rules concerning sick Bhikkhus, the use of leather foot-wear and
furniture, materials for robes and those concerning</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">medicine and
food. A separate section deals with the Katina ceremonies where annual
offering of robes takes place.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">In the time
before the evolution of Katina robe, a monk was entitled only to one set
of robes consisting three different robes because through
insufficient experience the Buddha’s instruction was three robes that were
sufficient to keep off the cold. (Ticivaram; Digunam Sangha tim,
Ekacciyam, Uttara-Sangham, Ekacciyam - Antara Vasakanti.
Generally what we call, Depata Sivura, Tanipata Sivura,and Andanaya.
These robes were made out of pieces of cloth thrown away in the
cemeteries in which corpses were wrapped in, or out of cloth picked up
from bathing spots. Mahavagga has mentioned 23</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">places from
where such discarded cloths could be obtained. Stitched in an orderly
manner washed and dyed as robes, these were called Pansakula -
civara. This word Pansakula persists and is currently used to connote
different meanings. Its original meaning perhaps is buried under the
corpses of those days.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Today the
offering of the Katina robe occupies as the most important event in a
Vas-Pinkama. In most of the temples ‘Dayakas’ devotees have to wait in
a waiting list to get this remarkably good opportunity to offer a
Katina robe. Katina robe is something exceptional because it can
be offered only once a year to only one monk who has observed Was in
one ‘Sima’ temple.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">A Katina robe is
usually offered as a ‘Kada’ a cloth to be cut according to
required measurements, stitched and dyed on the same day. Majority of our
devotees nowadays offer a saffron colour cloth so that dyeing
is avoided.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">On the day of
the Pavarana, conclusion of the Vas retreat the devotees offer the
Katina-Kada in the morning and then the Bhikkhus who have observed
Vas with them in that particular temple consent to give it to the most
deserving Bhikkhu. By evening recipient monk has towear it and
deliver the “Katinanisansa-Bana” a sermon on the benefits of holding a
Katina-Pinkama.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">It is said that
anyone who adds even one single stitch in the process of stitching
this robe would enjoy the splendour of “chakravarti” universal monarch and be
blessed with all the treasures a mortal could ever wish for in
this world. Venerable Nagita who was an Arahat described in the
presence of the Buddha the merits he acquired in the Previous births
by offering Katina-robes and Katina Dana. For incalculable birth he was
born in this world into very wealthy families or</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">in the six
heavens. For 18 aeons he enjoyed heavenly bliss and thirty four times he
was born as ‘Sakra,’ the king of gods. In Nagitapadana
Ven. Nagita describes about the blessings gained by offering Katina
robes and Katina-Dana thus: “If one is to give all types of
offerings, for a hundred years continuously the merits of accruing from
such an alms-giving is only about 1/16th of the merit of one single
Katina Dana.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">“Again he says
that even if 84,000 Viharas are built, a mountain of silver is
offered or a stupa of gold is constructed the merits of one Katina-Dana
supersedes all that. The Buddha Himself has praised the Katina-Dana as
the foremost of all alms.” Sanghassa-Dinnam Katinam Aggam,
Buddhena Vannitam.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Those who offer
four-fold requisites would never experience torture in the hells. A
person who has offered robes is born in this world will have a
noble birth, can be a prestigious leader, loved equally well by gods and men.
All these merits contribute towards the realization of Nirvana.</span></div>

that in the Tusita Heaven there is a ‘Sura-Tura’, wish conferring tree

evinced by the pithy sayings of venerable Nagita in the Nagitapadana.
This being the ‘Vas’ season which comes only once a year it is an
opportune that those Buddhists who believe in a here after realize
that death comes unobtrusively and instead of devoting all their time
to collect wealth, fame, and popularity it is judicious to accumulate
something solid and substantial to take to the other side by devoting at
least a bit out of their income to Katina-Dana, Sila, and Bhavana
lessening their ego-centredness.</span></div>
