Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS) Taiping Kathina

8 NOVEMBER 2015

That was my third times attended Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS) Taiping Kathina.(护法苑咖提那) .

Kathina is a Buddhist festival which comes at the end of Vassa, the three-month rainy season retreat for Theravada Buddhists. The season during which a monastery may hold Kathina is one month long, beginning after the full moon of the eleventh month in the Lunar calendar (usually October).

It is a time of giving, for the laity to express gratitude to bhikkhus (Buddhist monks). Lay Buddhists bring donations to temples, especially new robes for the monks.

SBS is located on a hill. After we have parked our cars at the designated area at the foothill, the volunteers and RELA members will guide all participants to destiny. We reach there around  8am. 

There are 2 ways to get to the SBS kathina.

1. the 4WD 

A convoy of 4WD car will send the elderly and the unfit/disabled to SBS and back down again after the ceremony. There will be waiting stations for the 4WD both at the foothill and in SBS.

      2. Walk 

The young and the fit are encouraged to walk up and down SBS using the short-cut route. First, you will be sent by shuttle service from a waiting station at the car park area to the beginning of the short-cut route. Then, you just need to take an approximately 8-minute walk from the beginning of the user-friendly short-cut route to reach the kathina site.

Highlights of the day

7:10 a.m.- Offering of kathina cloth

8:30 a.m.- Performance

9:30 a.m.- Offering almsfood and requisites to the Sangha

11:00 a.m. – Dhamma Talks in English by Bhante Aggacitta, in Hokkien by Bhante Kumara & in Burmese by Sayadaw Kevala

Breakfast & Lunch  provided for all devotees

For us, there was a little tired to climb up. Therefore we choose to take 4WD. Haha.

There was huge crowd of people and many stalls.

Aroung 10am, ceremony offering almsfood and requisites to the Sangha

There are about 12 Sangha.

11:00 a.m. – Dhamma Talks in English by Bhante Aggacitta, in Hokkien by Bhante Kumara & in Burmese by Sayadaw Kevala

Around 12pm, the events was finished. We walking down the hills. Nice View ♥ ♥ ♥ 

Walking along this nature trail promises to be refreshing and beneficial healthwise. Moreover, besides being kind to the environment, we will also be able to gain first-hand experience of walking the route that SBS monks walk barefoot daily to collect alms food. Furthermore, using the short-cut route will be a reward to the volunteers, mainly Burmese, who have spent many months of their Sundays manually paving it with concrete slabs specially for kathina devotees to walk on.

Although it very hot, but it was a meaningful and significant memory. 

The End~

~My Hometown-The Best of Taiping Lake Garden ~

Taiping Lake Gardens is the first public garden established during the British rule in Malaysia. 

Established in 1880, the Taiping Lake Garden is one of the oldest garden in Malaysia. This 62 hectares of park is also known as Taman Tasik Taiping in the Malay language. The huge lake was formerly a tin mine but was since transformed into a beautiful well used and well maintained park where flowers, birds, insects, animals and lush greenery thrive. Along Residency Road, near the gardens, were golden rain trees (Malay: angsana) (pterocarpus indicus) planted along the pathway.

Drop by this lake and take a stroll if you are visiting Taiping Zoo, one of the better zoo in Malaysia. Bukit Larut, used to be known as Maxwell Hill is located just within the vicinity.

130 years ago, Taiping town (at that time known as Larut) was the world's biggest exporter of tin. The high price of tin in the world market propelled enterprenuers to descend on Taiping. As of now, Taiping Lake Garden is the most famous natural lake in Malaysia. Be proud to enjoy it.

Some of the facilities and attractions that are available here include:

• A Lotus Pool where you will see the beautiful pinkish colour lotus on the pond near the entrance to Taiping Zoo.
• A Japanese Garden
• A Zig Zag Bridge
• A Pagoda Bridge
• A Rollerskating Rink
• Paddle-Boat Rides are the rides that children will be glad to embark on.
• Children's Playground
• Jogging tracks
• Reflexology tracks
• Open Air Gymnasium with instructions that describe the various exercises that you can do.

During the weekends, families with young children can be seen having their picnics while the older ones jog around the garden.

Rain Trees

Of particular interest to most photographers is the huge rain trees that grow by the lake. You will notice the branches that stretch across the road and dipping into the waters of the lake. It is as though the branches are quenching their thirst by taking in the water from the lake. The pictures of this rain trees can be seen in magazines and calendars. Sometimes, couples who are getting married can be seen posing here in their wedding clothes for a shot to remember the most important event of their life.

Bukit Larut

Private cars are not allowed on the road which is probably sensible as it is 13km long and very narrow with 72 hairpin bends as it winds its way up for 30 minutes to the Bukit Larut Rest House at 1036m.

This service runs hourly from 8am - 5pm.

It costs RM6 for an adult return journey.

Since seats are limited the Land Rovers can get fully booked at weekends and public holidays so it is sensible to book in advance.

Call the Bukit Larut Recreation Office on 05-8077241.

If the Land Rovers are fully booked it is still possible to walk provided you are feeling fit. Allow 7 hours (serious exercise!) for the round trip walk.
