Maṅgala Family Novitiate Program | 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 Program

Date: 20.12.2025 – 25.12.2025

Over six meaningful days (20–25 December 2025), we completed the Maṅgala Family Novitiate Program. Parents and children from various families experienced the rare opportunity of short-term monastic life, cultivating wholesome qualities through precepts and mindfulness.

During the program, participants learned:

• Meditation and mindful breathing

• Precepts and discipline

• Simplicity and appreciation

• Gratitude, loving-kindness, and mutual support

• Settling the mind under Saṅgha guidance

• Pindacāra (alms-round) practice

Walking the monastic path together, parents and children shaved their heads, learned to let go, and engaged in chanting, meditation, and service — letting Dhamma practice become a source of strength for the family.

We are grateful for the compassionate guidance of the Bhantes and Sayalays and rejoice in every family who came with a sincere heart.

May we continue to walk with kindness, mindfulness, simplicity, and gratitude, letting wholesome seeds grow within our homes.

Sādhu! Sādhu! Sādhu!
