Thod Kathina & Thod Pha Pa
What is Kathina?
"Kathin" is a Pall word for the wooden frame used to measure length and width by
which the robes of Buddhist monks are cut, approximately 2-by 1-meters (originally five by
three sok, or 2.5 by 1.5 metres), hence called Kathin robe. In the olden times, monks would
make Kathin robes by themselves by sewing together pieces of discarded cloth and dying
it. More recently, Kathin robes are sold ready-made. It has become a tradition to present
monks with Kathin robes upon the ending of the Buddhist Lent, during which monks are
staying inside their temple compound. During a period of four weeks, starting upon the first
night of the waning moon of the 11th month and ending with the first night of the waning
moon of the 12th month. According to Dhamma precepts, any disciplined monk with older
robes than others would be chosen by the monk assembly to receive presents of Kathin
robes. Following tradition, Buddhist believers would place Kathin robes before the monks
citing the Pali words of offering. This rite is known as Thot Kathin.

THOD KATHIN ROBES OFFERING CEREMONY (KATHINA)
Following the end of Buddhist Lent (Awk Phansa) new robes and offerings are made to the
monkhood as part of the annual thod kathin or kathina ceremony. This ceremony often
involves a procession of lay-people walking along a pre-arranged route to their designated
temple whilst carrying the new robes. The procession will sometimes be headed by monks
from the temple. There is no specific day for this to happen and will depend on
arrangements at individual temples, but the kathin ceremonies are only allowed take place
within a one-month period from the end of Buddhist Lent. During this time, awk phanse it is
common to see processions and ceremonies for thod khatin at various temples around
Thailand. The robes offering is a chance for Thai Buddhists to make merit and temple
grounds become venues for traditional dancers, music and food stalls. In Bangkok, there is
the Royal Thod Kathin ceremony also known as Kathina Luang attended by members of the
Thai royal family.
MAKING MERIT
In addition to offering robes other ways of making merit (thambun) include financial
donations to the temple (often on a money tree) and building materials for the upkeep of
the wat. The word 'thod' refers to making an offering to a monk whilst kathin' refers to an
embroidery frame. In days gone by, individual pieces of cloth would be sewn together on
the kathin to make a new robe which would then be dyed a shade of saffron before being
presented to a monk. Each temple in Thailand is only allowed to accept the kathin
robes once a year and the robes are donated to the temple in general rather than any
particular monk.
