Vassa (from Pāli vasso, Sanskrit varṣaḥ, both "rain" - Burmese: ဝါတွင်း, Burmese pronunciation: [wàdwín]; Khmer: វស្សា or ព្រះវស្សា; Lao: ພັນສາ [pʰán sǎː], sometimes ວັດສາ [wāt sǎː]; Thai: พรรษา, phansaa), also called Rains Retreat, or Buddhist Lent, is the three-month annual retreat observed by Theravada practitioners. Taking place during the rainy season, Vassa lasts for three lunar months, usually from July (the Burmese month of Waso, ဝါဆို) to October (the Burmese month of Thadingyut သီတင်းကျွတ်).

For the duration of Vassa, Bhikkhus remain inside monasteries and temple grounds. In some monasteries, monks dedicate the Vassa to intensive meditation. Some Buddhist lay people choose to observe Vassa by adopting more ascetic practices, such as giving up meat, alcohol, or smoking. While Vassa is sometimes casually called "Buddhist Lent", others object to this terminology.

Vassa is followed by Kathina, a festival in which the laity expresses gratitude to monks. Lay Buddhists bring donations to temples, especially new robes for the monks.

Listen to Vassa Larin interviews

Sr. Dr. Vassa Larin (born Varvara Georgievna Larina December 11, 1970, in Nyack, New York, United States) is a Russian-Orthodox ‟ryassofor“ nun, author of many scholarly articles and a monograph on Byzantine Liturgy and Theology, and outspoken public intellectual on current issues of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia (ROCOR). She teaches Liturgical Studies at the Catholic Theological Faculty of the University of Vienna in Austria.

Biography[link]

Born to the family of a Russian-Orthodox priest in Nyack, NY, Larin graduated from Nyack High School and entered Bryn Mawr College in Bryn Mawr, PA, at the age of 16. She left college to enter the Lesna-Convent of the ROCOR in Provement, France, at age 19. After a long spiritual and academic novitiate-training, including the study of Greek, Latin, German, patristic theology and Church History, Sr. Vassa was eventually enrolled by her spiritual father, Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany, to study Orthodox Theology at the Orthodox Institute of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich, Germany. There she received a Master’s Degree in Orthodox Theology, having written a Master’s Thesis on the “Royal Office” at the beginning of Byzantine Orthros.

In 2006-2008 she worked as the Graduate Assistant of the renowned expert on Byzantine Liturgy, Professor Robert F. Taft, S.J., at the Pontifical Oriental Institute in Rome. Taft directed Sr. Vassa’s doctoral dissertation on the Byzantine hierarchal liturgy, which she defended summa cum laude at the Orthodox Institute of Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich in December 2008. Larin’s dissertation, The Byzantine Hierarchal Divine Liturgy in Arsenij Suxanov’s Proskinitarij, was published in 2010 as volume 286 of the academic series Orientalia Christiana Analecta.

Since January 2009 Larin teaches Liturgical Studies at the Catholic Faculty of the University of Vienna in Austria. She is a founding member of the Society of Oriental Liturgies, and a member of the North American Academy of Liturgy. In 2012 Larin was included in the 30th Anniversary Edition of Marquis Who’s Who in the World.[1]

Writings[link]

Her numerous publications, written in English, Russian, or German, include scholarly studies based on original manuscript-research, as well as articles on controversial topics in contemporary Orthodoxy.[2] Especially noteworthy are her following publications:

  • The Byzantine Hierarchal Divine Liturgy in Arsenij Suxanov’s Proskinitarij (Orientalia Christiana Analecta 286) Rome 2010.
  • “What is Ritual Im/Purity and Why?” St. Vladimir’s Theological Quarterly 52: 3-4 (2008) 275-92.
  • “The Dikerion and Trikerion of the Byzantine Pontifical Rite: Origins and Significance,” Orientalia Christiana Periodica 74 (2008) 417-430.
  • “The Ecclesiastical Principle of Oikonomia and the ROCOR,” electronically published in Russian original and English translation on the ROCOR’s official website.[3]
