The University of Phayao will organize the annual Tak Bat Devo Tradition in 2024.
The Tak Bat Devo Tradition is a significant merit-making event that commemorates the end of Buddhist Lent. It honors the Buddha's return from Tavatimsa Heaven, where he spent three months teaching his mother Abhidhamma. This day is also known as Devo Rohana Day. In recognition of the significance of this tradition, the University of Phayao collaborated with the Mae Ka Subdistrict community to organize the event.
On October 18th, 2024, Venerable Associate Professor Dr. Direk Teeraputon, Vice President for University Communication, presided over a ceremony at Wat Pa Phra Ubali in Mae Ka Subdistrict. The purpose of the event was to strengthen ethics and governance within the university and foster relationships between the institution, the temple, and the local community.
Venerable Associate Professor Dr. Phra Methivajirakhun, Vice-Rector for Phayao Campus, delivered a sermon discussing the significance of the day and the importance of the relationship between the university, temple, and community. The ceremony was attended by university executives, staff, students, and residents who participated by offering alms to 12 monks. This gesture aimed to preserve traditions and promote cooperation through ceremonial networks.
Additionally, the Tan Tod Tradition, a part of the Tak Bat Devo event, will take place on October 22nd, 2024. This event will showcase local culture and customs with the support of various university and community organizations.
