What is this season?

The first full moon of the lunar year is Thượng Nguyên, the Lantern Festival; many temples hold a service for a peaceful new year. This path follows the New Year path and reads texts often chanted at such services, with Nikāya discourses and Dhammapada chapters on kindness and a wholesome life; on the full moon itself it reads the eight factors of the noble observance day.

Every reading is quoted in full from the Inti Dharma library, translator credited. No points, no rankings — each at their own pace.
