Devotees gathered to commemorate this auspicious day by learning Dhamma.

On 3 and 4 May, the eve and full-moon day of the Vesak month, devotees gathered at Nalanda Centre to learn and reflect on the Buddha Day theme ‘Living a meaningful life’.   Having been born as a human being with a mind which can be developed, we can choose to lead a worthy life that gives meaning to existence.  We do this by developing right values and principles which are of value to our own spiritual progress and to the well-being of others.
