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.
