The Images and Ceremony of Lamp Transmission and Novice Ordination for the U.S. Person at Pháp Nhãn Temple in Texas, the U.S.A.
In Vu Lan’s Filial Piety Season of this year, the American novice monk Pháp Thanh, who is full of good conditions, received the transmitted lamp and was ordained as a novice at Pháp Nhãn Temple, Texas, the U.S.A. under the support and presence of the Venerable monastic people through the guidance and teaching of Buddha Dharma by Master Thích Trừng Sỹ, the Abbot of the Pháp Nhãn Temple.

THE VERSES OF KASA ROBE TRANSMISSION
Namo The Original Master Sakyamuni Buddhaya
(3 times)
Putting On Monastic Daily Robe
Putting on the monastic daily robe,
My heart is at ease.
I vow to live a life of freedom,
bringing joy and peace to the world.
Putting on the Sanghati or Kasa Robe*
(Please kneel down and raise the robe across the forehead.)
How wonderful is the robe of freedom
The robe of the rice field of merit is marvelous
I bow my head to receive it happily
and vow to wear it lifetime after lifetime.
Namo Buddhaya.
Namo Dharmaya.
Namo Sanghaya.
(*Sanghati or Kasa is the robe the monastic people wear on formal occasions.)
