On Sunday 25 March, Nalanda Buddhist Society members congregated at Nalanda Centre for the Society’s 15th Annual General Meeting.  There was a lot of rejoicing and appreciation for the hard work put in by the Board of Management, EXCO Members, education team, administrative staff, Society members and volunteers which brought Nalanda to a higher level of success in 2017.

“Achariya-Abhivadana” – paying homage with gratitude to our teachers and spiritual guides – is a Nalanda tradition before every major event.
