SUMMARY:Boun Kao Phansa (Vassā) 
DESCRIPTION:Please Join Wat Lao Buddhavong to Celebrate Boun Kao Phansa (Vassā). \n\n\n\nBoun Khao Phansa (Entering the rainy season in Laos\, and others southeastern Asian countries)\, marks the start of Buddhist Lent.

Lay people take opportunity to celebrate with performing meritorious deeds such as giving Dāna and observing the precepts. \n\n\n\nIn the afternoon\, followed by the Lao Language Seminar session\, provided by Teacher Saly Chittavoravong. This is the rare opportunity to refresh your Lao linguistic abilities\, for any age or any level of Lao language knowledge.
