Yesterday (19 October 2008) was the Kathina Day for BM Meditation Centre. We are very lucky to have 9 Bhikkhus for this auspicious day. 
Sayadaw U Vimala gave a talk on the virtues of Sangha and the benefit of Kathina.
One interesting point in Sayadaw's talk is that there are two types of Sangha: the Ariya Sangha and the putthujana Sangha.
Ariya Sangha comprises of the Noble Ones namely Sotapanna, Sakadagami, Anagami and Arahant.
Offering of Kathina robes is an offering to the Ariya Sangha.
