First Uposatha Service for Gimhāna Period 2026

On Monday 15 June, devotees gathered at Nalanda Centre for the evening Uposatha Service at the start of the annual Gimhāna Period, a special time dedicated to intensified practice and spiritual cultivation.  Sis.

Happy Father’s Day

On this Father’s Day, we pause to recollect with gratitude the quiet strength, care and sacrifices of our fathers and father-figures.  In their steadfast efforts to provide, protect and guide, we witness qualities of patience, generosity and responsibility that nurture both family and society. May we take this opportunity to express our appreciation, to care for them with kindness, and to cultivate these wholesome qualities within ourselves.

In the first two sessions, participants explored the foundations of Satipaṭṭhāna, the cultivation of mindfulness and clear comprehension in daily life.  They learned that meditation is not merely about calming the mind, but about developing the ability to observe experiences as they truly are, with understanding and wisdom.
