Clear Mountain | Clear Mountain Annual Almsgiving Celebration: Finding a Refuge (Online & In-Person) (9:30 am – 2:00 pm; PT, US)
Saturday, June 28th, 9:30 am – 3 pm PDT at St. Mark’s Cathedral’s Bloedel Hall (enter through back of cathedral), 1245 10th Ave E. Those unable to attend in-person are also welcome to tune in via Zoom or YouTube livestream. To participate in chanting, use this online Chanting Book.
“Clear Mountain Almsgiving Celebration: Finding a Refuge” (Pah Bah–ผ้าป่า in thai) is a joyful tradition where the lay community offers food, cloth, and financial support to Buddhist monastics and their practice. It’s a beautiful opportunity that brings happiness and spiritual benefit to both the givers and the receivers.
This year, offerings will help Clear Mountain build a permanent home for the future monastery—a growing refuge for all.
Join us in this joyful celebration! Bring food to share at the potluck and take part in a day of generosity, community, and shared blessings!
