From 27 to 29 June, over 80 participants and volunteers from Nalanda Dhamma Schools in Serdang, Kuala Lumpur, and Johor Bahru came together at Wisdom Park for a Family Stay-in Programme. Themed “Joy of Dhamma”, this meaningful gathering allowed families from different regions to connect through shared learning, reflection, and wholesome fun in a peaceful setting.
Throughout the three-day programme, families took part in Dhamma learning sessions and activities designed to deepen their understanding of Buddhist values while strengthening bonds between parents and children. One of the most memorable highlights was the shadow puppet performance, where families creatively told stories based on Dhamma teachings — lighting up the night with laughter, applause, and heartfelt moments under the open sky.
We are deeply grateful for the dedication of Dhamma speakers, organisers, facilitators, and volunteers who created a joyful and supportive environment. Families returned home uplifted, inspired to live the Dhamma more fully, and more connected with one another. May this joyful beginning spark many more such opportunities to grow together in the Dhamma. Sadhu!
