Ganachakra

Ganachakra is like having a big party with all your friends and family. In some cultures, people have these parties to celebrate different things like weddings or religious celebrations.

In Buddhism, a Ganachakra is a special kind of party that monks and nuns have together. They sit in a circle and share food and teachings with each other. They also chant prayers and meditate. It's like having a special time to be with your friends and family and learn more about your faith.

It's important to have a Ganachakra because it helps monks and nuns feel connected to their community and to each other. It's also a good way to learn more about the teachings of Buddha and to strengthen their spiritual practice. So, just like how you have fun and learn new things at your own parties, monks and nuns have fun and learn new things at their Ganachakras.
