We invite you to join us this Friday 19 May for the Jeṭṭha New-moon Uposatha Service, which will mark the start of Nalanda’s ‘Gimhana Retreat’. The service commences at 8pm with evening chanting and a Dhamma talk by Venerable Rāhula, a monk of Mexican descent who ordained in 2015. Ven. Rāhula has learned and practiced with respected teachers including Ven. Sayadaw U Tejaniya, Ven. Sayadaw Dr. Ukkamsacara and his preceptor Ven. Sayadaw Dr. Nandamālābhivaṃsa.

Ven. Rāhula continued the studies of the Dhamma Vinaya in Sāsanārakkha Buddhist Sanctuary in Taiping under the guidance of Ven. Ariyadhammika, and is currently developing the Mexico Buddhist Center (Paññabhumi Dhammasala) to introduce and propagate the Buddha’s teaching in his native country.  All are welcome.
