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. We extend our appreciation to Āyasmā Aggacitta for his compassion in reaching out to so many in the Buddhist community with the very words of the Buddha on the factors leading up and attributed to a Stream-enterer.

On 8 to 9 July, Nalanda members and volunteers joyfully welcomed members of the Buddhist community to Wisdom Park on its first ‘Open Day’. Let us together rejoice in the joyous gathering of kalyana mittas to glimpse the potential of Wisdom Park for the Buddhist community, and together realise these possibilities for the prolongation of the Buddha-Sāsana. 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 share with you more endearing moments of care, camaraderie and rejoice, all of which led to the connecting of hearts and minds on this wonderful occasion. 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!

We would like to extend our appreciation to venerable monks and nuns, friends, family and members of the Buddhist community for visiting Wisdom Park Open Day last weekend, on 8 and 9 July. We also extend our thanks to all volunteers who have worked tirelessly and selflessly. With renewed spirit and joy in our hearts, let us together make holistic Dhamma education for the community. Buddha-Sasanam ciram thithantu.

Namo Buddhaya! This weekend is ‘Open Day’ at Wisdom Park, an integrated Buddhist education hub dedicated to train Dhamma teachers and develop Buddhist leaders.

From 16 to 25 June, 40 meditators and volunteers gathered at Wisdom Park for a 10-day Meditation Retreat guided by Venerable Gavesi. We extend our appreciation to Ven. Gavesi for his care and compassion in guiding the practitioners in this arduous experience of cultivating the mind.

On Tuesday 30 May,  we were honoured to host Luang Por Lai Thipadhammo, Luang Por Sawang Kalyāno, Luang Por Charlie Piyadhammo, Ajahn Dton Dhirapanno and Ajahn Meng Techadhammo at Wisdom Park.  We wish all Luang Pors and Ajahns good health and strength in carrying out their Dhamma propagation efforts.

On Saturday 27 May, a total of 80 students and facilitators of Family Dhamma School had their first school outing at Wisdom Park, to cultivate family well-being and experience the joy of service. It was a fulfilling and wholesome day for the families, as they spent quality time together and encouraging each other.  We rejoice in their spirit of service and learning, and look forward to welcoming the Family Dhamma School back to Wisdom Park.  Sadhu anumodana.

On 20 – 21 May, participants and volunteers of BPS 104 Buddhist Course in Mandarin gathered in Wisdom Park for a stay-in programme. They hailed from Klang Valley, Johor Bahru and Sungai Petani where they attended seven classes since February at NEO Centres in KL, JB and SP. We rejoice over their achievement and learning spirit, and congratulate all participants for completing the course. Echoing Achariya Tan Siang Chye’s encouragement, may your Dhamma learning journey continue to flourish so that you may experience even more happiness and peace. Sadhu anumodana!
