We were honoured to host Venerable Ajahn Achalo, Abbot of Anandagiri Forest Monastery at Wisdom Park on 12 May 2023. It was the maiden visit to the campus by Ajahn and his retinue.  He was delighted by the simple and functional facility built that draws parallels to the forest monastery he has set up in Petchabun, Thailand. We thank Venerable Ajahns for visiting us.  May they be blessed with good health and success in all their noble endeavours.

To celebrate ‘Earth Day’ today on 22 April, volunteers gathered at Wisdom Park to plant 12 trees, bringing the total count of trees planted here to over 1,800. Let us take this opportunity to reflect, resolve and take action on how we can drive positive actions for the planet. Every conscientious act to reduce consumption & waste, lower our carbon footprint and green our surroundings, count towards easing the toll on the environment.  We can make it a happy ‘Earth Day’ everyday.

On 24 March 2023, Sayadaw Nyanavuddha and Sayalay Vimalanani paid a visit to Wisdom Park.

On 11 March 2023, EXCO members of Buddhist Gem Fellowship led by its President Bro. Tee Chee Seng paid a visit to Wisdom Park.  The entourage toured the campus grounds and held a discussion with Nalanda leaders on the ways the facilities can be used by the community and how they could also support the mission of Wisdom Park. We hope to work together hand-in-hand to build the Buddhist community together.  Sadhu anumodana!

From 9 to 11 March, 40 devotees and volunteers checked in at Wisdom Park for a meditation retreat conducted by Ven. Ajahn Pavaro. Following Ajahn’s advise, let us always have gratitude in our heart for all the supporting conditions we are blessed with to walk the spiritual path, and strive towards the lasting peace of Nibbana.
