Students and teachers from Malacca and Subang Jaya enjoying their visit to Nalanda Centre.

On Saturday 4 February, Nalandians were delighted to host a study tour by 80 students from SMK Gajah Berang, Malacca, and 40 students from SMK USJ 13, Selangor.  The young visitors and their teachers were warmly received in the morning, and they proceeded on a tour of Nalanda Centre.

A warm welcoming performance by Nalandian youths and Dhamma School students.

The students then listened to a Dhamma sharing by Bro. Aggaphala Yap on ‘Happiness’.  The sharing was very simple and useful, allowing the students to have a better understanding of the Buddhist way to a happy life.  After receiving food for the mind, the students had the opportunity to experience a traditional, Nalandian communal lunch.

Simple language and concepts made the Dhamma easy to absorb and digest.

We would like to thank both schools for organising this visit to Nalanda Centre.  Our appreciation also to the teachers for having great concern for the spiritual well-being of their students.  Sadhu!

At the end of the tour, the students were happy and appreciative for the unique experience at Nalanda.
