This Thursday 28 September, Nalanda Youth Centre will be welcoming over 90 participants for the 6th Dhamma-Living Camp for Young Adults at Wisdom Park. This camp, themed ‘Making Wise Choices in Life’, is an excellent opportunity for youths to deepen one’s own understanding of the Buddha-Dhamma and to incorporate the practice at this impressionable stage of life. We wish you a safe journey to Kuala Kubu Bahru and look forward to hosting all participants for 4 days of joyful Dhamma learning and communal living.

Just two days ago, on Saturday 23 September, Nalanda Family Dhamma School went for an excursion to Wisdom Park.

Our thanks also extend to all Dhamma School facilitators and teenagers from Serdang who were on hand to assist in making this outing an enjoyable and fruitful session. Sadhu anumodana.

Nalandians spent this public holiday meaningfully hosting Venerable Ven. Lim Sukhito at Wisdom Park on 19 July. Venerable is the Abbot of Dhammavana Meditation Centre Bukit Mertajam.  He was delighted by the simple and functional facility built that draws parallels to the forest monastery he has set up in north Malaysia. We thank Venerable for visiting us.  May they be blessed with good health and success in all their noble endeavours.

From 8 – 10 July, over 80 participants, facilitators and volunteers gathered for the ‘Entering the Stream and Beyond’ Sutta Study with Meditation Workshop led by Āyasmā Aggacitta at Wisdom Park.

On 8 to 9 July, Nalanda members and volunteers joyfully welcomed members of the Buddhist community to Wisdom Park on its first ‘Open Day’.

Sadhu anumodana.

At Wisdom Park’s ‘Open Day’ on 8 and 9 July, 100 Nalanda members and volunteers were privileged to welcome friends and fellow members of the Buddhist Community, and assist them in learning more about this integrated holistic educational campus.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to the organising team and volunteers for their dedication and extensive efforts in making each and every visitors’ trip a wholesome one. Sadhu!
