In the past, we held a large annual retreat every year at KPY USA retreat center in Redwood Valley. However, we lost the retreat center in the large Northern California wildfires in 2017 and have since been holding smaller annual retreats at the temple.

Kathina 2021

We invite all faithful Buddhists to join us in sponsoring and making merit during San Fran
Dhammaram Temple’s 2021 Kathina. The fundraiser will be held at 9.00 a.m. on Sunday, October 31 at 2645 Lincoln Way, San Francisco, CA 94122.
Due to COVID-19 and a scheduling conflict with Outside Lands Music Festival, we will not be able to hold our annual Kathina at the Hall of Flowers (Golden Gate Park) according to our usual custom. Therefore, we will be holding the Kathina ceremony at the temple. Since the size of gathering at the temple is limited due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we have determined that:
1. This year’s Kathina will be a closed event, and we will provide the live stream of the ceremony on YouTube Live (www.youtube.com/watsanfran) on October 31, 2021 starting at 9:00 a.m.
2. Faithful Buddhists are invited to gather in groups of no more than fifteen people to act as in-person sponsors, donating Sangha robes, Kathina contributions, and other articles at the temple. We plan to welcome such groups between the hours of 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. from October 22 through October 30. We ask that those who are interested call ahead and reserve a time slot. You can reach us at 415-753-0857 or LINE ID @watsanfran.
The donations from this year’s Kathina will go towards paying the remaining mortgage ($2,016,385) for the Akaliko Women’s Residence, supporting temple expenses (utilities, Dhamma book printing, Buddhist animation project, etc.), and to support San Fran Dhammaram Temple’s Buddhist and Thai Culture School.
We invite you to be a part of this auspicious fundraiser by pledging to be a main sponsor, donating through a group sponsorship, or stopping by to make charitable contributions of food and requisites. These wholesome actions help Buddhism and its teachings continue to thrive here in San Francisco, and will result in great merit for you. By the power of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha, may you be prosperous, blessed with good health and happiness, and may all your aspirations attain fruition.
