On Friday, 21 November 2025, the extended family of Vihara Maha Aura Sala held a Ritual Ceremony to Mark the Beginning of the Temple Renovation, a significant moment that symbolizes the start of rebuilding the temple’s facilities to enhance the quality of spiritual services for the devotees. The ceremony was attended by bhikkhunis, the temple committee, and devotees who gathered with joy and heartfelt devotion.
In Buddhist tradition, a groundbreaking ritual is not merely a symbolic ceremony, but an expression of gratitude and a request for blessings so that the renovation may proceed smoothly, safely, and bring great benefit. Before the beautifully arranged altar, the bhikkhunis led the chanting and collective aspirations. This moment strengthens the belief that the renovation is an essential step in improving the temple’s spiritual facilities for both the present generation and those to come.
Joy and togetherness were clearly reflected in the unity of the devotees who attended. With great enthusiasm, several devotees lifted the work tools as a symbolic gesture marking the beginning of the renovation, signifying the community’s readiness to work hand in hand. The serene presence of the bhikkhunis added a sacred atmosphere, strengthening the positive energy felt by all participants.
With the beginning of this renovation, Vihara Maha Aura Sala is expected to become a more comfortable and representative center for Dhamma learning, meditation, and religious social activities. May the entire construction process proceed smoothly and be completed on time, so that the temple can soon be used again by the devotees for their spiritual practice.
The renovation of Vihara Maha Aura Sala continues to require support from devotees and sympathizers. Therefore, the opportunity to offer donations remains open to anyone who wishes to take part in this wholesome act. Every contribution represents thavara dana—a form of giving that brings long-term benefit to the vihara and to all beings who will study the Dhamma in this place.
