From 9 to 11 December, Nalanda members from all over Malaysia will congregate at Wisdom Park for the 9th National Members’ Convention. The 3-day convention will discuss issues pertaining to Dhamma-learning, practice and our education mission. We look forward to hosting our kalyana mittas and wish everyone a safe journey to Kuala Kubu Bahru.

Just 2 days ago on Friday 1 December, Nalanda had the priviledge of hosting Ajahn Jayanto at Wisdom Park, whose last visit with us was exactly a decade ago at Sri Serdang. We thank Ajahn Jayanto for spending time to visit us again on this trip to Malaysia. May Ajahn be blessed with good health and success in his noble endeavours as well as in his Dhamma work in Temple, New Hampshire. Sukhi hontu.

On Sunday 19 November, 35 yogis and volunteers have just completed a 7-day Meditation Retreat with Ven. Sujiva at Wisdom Park. In this past week, yogis have been ardent in their efforts by observing noble silence and adhering to the hourly sitting and walking from the early hours in the morning until the late evening, to hone their mindfulness and see things as they really are. We are grateful to the organising team and volunteers for helping to make the retreat a success.

From 2 to 4 November, Firefly Mission Singapore descended upon Wisdom Park to learn and reflect on the Buddha’s Teachings with good friends. We rejoice with our friends from Firefly for their keen learning, and also in their initiatives to effect so many educational and social improvements for communities around the world. Our appreciation goes out to all of you for your camaraderie over the years, and we look forward to hosting you again soon. Sadhu anumodana.

Last Saturday 4 November, participants of the Fellowship Undergraduate Network (F.U.N.) combined their fourth learning session with performing service at Wisdom Park. The university students worked together and supported each other in making quick work of turning around the facilities for the next two programmes at the educational campus. We thank F.U.N for their service and look forward to hosting your next session which will be held this Saturday 11 November at Nalanda Centre. See you this weekend!

Last Saturday on 21 October, the ‘Green Warriors’ of Wisdom Park skilled up by learning how to ‘marcott’ – a way of propagating plants that are difficult to root from cuttings. Let us together contribute our efforts towards enhancing this educational campus, and maintaining a conducive environment for Dhamma learners.

Participants of the Dhamma-Living Camp for Young Adults had the opportunity to connect with nature by joining the ‘Green Warriors’ to enhance Wisdom Park’s landscaping on Saturday 30 September. We thank the campers for joining us in rejuvenating the environment at Wisdom Park, so that it may benefit more Dhamma learners in the future. Sadhu anumodana!

ver four days of the recently concluded Dhamma-Living Camp for Young Adults, strong bonds of fellowship developed as the campers supported each other in their gradual Dhamma learning on making wise choices in life. We rejoice in their camaraderie and share these group photos of the ‘Dhamma families’ which flourished on the foundations of mutual trust, care and spiritual friendship.

From 28 September to 1 October, over 100 participants and volunteers of the Dhamma-Living Camp for Young Adults congregated at Wisdom Park for four days of wholesome learning and service. Carrying the theme ‘Make Wise Choices in Life’, the campers gradually learned principles taught by the Buddha to help shape their mental attitudes throughout life’s journey. May we continue on the Dhamma path with good spiritual friends until the final attainment of Nibbana. Sadhu anumodana!

The Dhamma-living Camp for Young Adults (DLCY) concluded on a high note just this afternoon with 90 participants making aspirations to live life more meaningfully having been immersed in Dhamma learning over the past four days. We extend our deepest appreciation to the speakers, DLCY Organising Committee, facilitators, volunteers and participants for making this Camp an unforgettable and life-changing spiritual experience. Sadhu anumodana!
