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!
