Ven. Asabhacara teaching meditation at Nalanda Centre.

On Wednesday 21 October, Venerable Sayadaw Asabhacara gave a guided meditation and Dhamma talk at Nalanda Centre.  In his talk, Ven. Asabhacara encouraged devotees to meditate diligently and maintain mindfulness in our daily activities.  Devotees also took the opportunity to clarify doubts on their daily practice during the Q & A session.

Earlier in the day, Ven. Asabhacara arrived at Nalanda Centre from Kuala Kubu Bharu, accompanied by Samanera Kavidhaja and President of Selangor Vipassana Buddhist Meditation Society, Bro. Lim Boon Hang.  They were brought on a building tour by Sis. Nandini.  The visitors later met with Founder Bro. Tan, where Ven. Asabhacara lauded Nalanda for its marvelous education and Dhamma propagation efforts.
