*Individuals do not offer robes to monks.
个人不单独向僧众奉送袈裟。
If you wish to offer robes, please contribute to the Kathina Fund, which is used to buy the robes & other requisites, and to defray the expenses of the Kathina ceremony.
Any excess will go to the support of the SBS Sangha and maintenance of SBS. This way, everyone has a share in contributing towards all the above.
It is not a practice for individuals to offer robes on this day because the monks don’t need so many robes.
若您希望供养袈裟，请捐助“迦提那基金”。该基金用于购置袈裟与其他日用品，并支付迦提那法会相关开支。
如有结余，将用于支持SBS僧团及道场维护。如此一来，人人皆可共成其事、同沾法益。
迦提那当日不鼓励个人单独供袈裟，因为僧众并不需要如此多的袈裟。

Each member of the Sangha present at the SBS kathina ceremony will receive what is potentially allowable from a portion of the total sum collected from your ang pows.
The ang pow of that portion will later be entrusted to his kappiyakāraka to provide what is allowable in times of need. The remaining sum will be deposited in the SBS Sangha Dayaka Fund.
在SBS迦提那法会上，每位出席的僧团成员将从您所供养的红包总额中，按可能许可的范围分得一份。该份红包随后将委托给比丘的kappiyakāraka（净人组长）保管，以便在需要时按戒律所许之法提供所需资具。其余款项将存入SBS僧团Dayaka基金（护持者基金）。
In order to invite the monks to obtain whatever is potentially allowable and obtainable from the ang pows, all devotees will repeat after the emcee and recite in unison:
为邀请僧众依法从红包中取得一切依律可能且可得之资具，请大众随司仪带领，同声恭诵
