From Saturday March 19 until Sunday March 20 The monks of the Metta Parami Monastery and other invited monks recited the Patthana Desana prayer to receive wisdom and protection.  The monks took turns reading from the Pali Canon sacred books for 24 hours.  They were assisted by a group of devout lay readers.

The supporters also participated in cooking and sharing the traditional Hta-Ma-Ne, a sticky sweet rice treat.  Good food was shared by all on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.
