“The Bhikhu Sangha has the power to preserve Buddhism propounded by the Buddha. The Upasaks and the Upasikas have done righteous work by performing Kathin Chivar Daan to the Bhikhu Sangha. The monks are secured from the Sun, wind and rain due to the Chivar and hence in one way the Upasaks and Upasikas have donated good health to the Sangha”, opined Bhadant Sumanvanno Mahathero. He was speaking during the ‘Kathin Chivar Daan’ ceremony held at Lokuttara Mahavihar at Chauka.
