Bro. Tan striking the gong to symbolically launch the annual ‘Buddha Jayanti’ Exhibition.

Nalanda founder Bro. Tan was invited to launch the ‘Buddha Jayanti’ Exhibition yesterday afternoon accompanied by members of Nalanda Dhamma School.  The exhibition is an annual project undertaken by Dhamma School teachers and students to celebrate Wesak ‘Buddha Day’.

Over the years, the ‘Buddha Jayanti’ Exhibition has grown to become an esteemed Nalandian Wesak period tradition, as well as an educational attraction for many visitors to Sri Serdang.  The exhibition always carries that year’s Wesak theme, which presently is “Buddha – Our Teacher and Refuge”.

Dhamma School facilitators and students joyfully listening to the talk.

Special guests to Nalanda Centre were given the honour of striking the gong to open the exhibition. (From left) Sis. Fannie and Dr. Stuart Chin from Sabah, and Bro. Tan Kim See from Malacca.

Nalanda Dhamma School facilitators and students will take turns to welcome, host, and guide visitors at the 4-day exhibition.  The public is cordially invited to visit ‘Buddha Jayanti’ Exhibition at Level 3 of Nalanda Centre.  Daily opening hours from Sunday (7 May) to Wednesday (10 May, ‘Buddha Day’) is from 10am to 6pm.  All are welcome!
