The daily morning alms offering for the Maha Sangha was conducted today with great reverence at the Anuradhapura Viveka Ashram, generously sponsored by the Bosath Vishwakarma Foundation.

This sacred offering is made without prior invitation for the venerable Maha Sangha who arrive from many directions while visiting the great sacred sites of Anuradhapura and practicing Samatha and Vipassana meditation.

The special morning Sambuddha Pooja, together with offerings of milk rice and the traditional heel dana, was offered before the sacred Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, where a sacred relic of the Supreme Enlightened One, Gautama Buddha, measuring approximately a droṇa in volume, is enshrined. The offering was made with deep devotion as a living act of reverence to the Blessed One.

Following the Sambuddha Pooja, the remaining morning alms offerings were respectfully presented to the venerable Maha Sangha at the Viveka Ashram.
