Participants listened attentively as Sis. Paru relayed the backstory to each verse.

On Saturday 10 June, Nalanda Institute hosted the second of three Dhammapada Study Series at Nalanda Centre.  Sis. Paruadi Ramasamy led participants in a reflection of 8 verses from the Yamaka Vagga (The Chapter of Twin Verses), in which each pair consist of verses which are similar in language but bear opposite meanings to provide contrast on the path to be taken and the path to be avoided.

In today’s society where conflict is rife, participants related well to these iconic verses which teach us to overcome challenges through training our own mind instead of blaming and complaining about others.  Peace of mind is always closer at hand when we do not harbour unwholesome thoughts and hatred.

We invite you to join us for the third session will be held on Thursday 29 June from 2pm to 6pm by registering here.  For any inquiries, please contact Sis. Chia Mun See at 013- 966 6133 or Nalanda Office at 03-8938 1500.
