Today is the full-moon day of the first lunar month, marking the celebration of “Chap Goh Meh” (literally, ‘the fifteenth night’) in the local Hokkien dialect.  On this significant day for the Chinese community, families traditionally mark the festival with another round of reunion dinners, and make aspirations for a happy and peaceful year ahead.

Nalanda wishes everyone who celebrates “Chap Goh Meh” a joyful, wholesome and fulfilling time! May you also be blessed with good conditions for further spiritual progress.  Happy “Chap Goh Meh”!
