Joyous & insightful youth camp
DLCY participants, facilitators and volunteers have forged bonds of friendship over the 4 days. The blessing of good spiritual friends is one to be treasured in life.
From 16 to 19 September, Nalanda Youth Centre hosted its fifth Dhamma-Living Camp for Young Adults at Wisdom Park in Kuala Kubu Bahru. The 100 participants immersed themselves in learning, reflection and wholesome friendship, and experienced the simple joy of living in accordance to Dhamma. Many participants renewed their strength and conviction to rise above worldly frivolities and live more purposefully in accordance to the Buddha’s teachings.
Days after the event, we continue to rejoice in the friendships forged and the earnestness for Dhamma of our campers. We hope you enjoy these photos of this memorable event, and together celebrate their spirit of learning! More photos are available on Nalanda Facebook page here.
At the start of the camp, the Organising Committee and facilitators warmly welcomed campers to this journey of inner discovery.
Sis. Paruadi Ramasamy shared about the realities of impermanence as taught by the Buddha, an important insight for us when we face life’s ups and downs.
Sis. Santi Cheang introduced campers to the spirit of chanting and also guided them in meditation.
Sis. Sunanda Ong spoke about how we can overcome disappointments and challenges which are a part of life.
A ‘Dhamma Chat’ with Sis. Nandini, Sis. Paru and Sis. Santi enabled campers to ask questions and clear their doubts.
