This Saturday 20 July is the full-moon day of the Asalha month which marks the occasion over 2,600 years ago when the Buddha delivered the First Sermon on the ‘Four Noble Truths’ and the ‘Noble Eightfold Path’ to the world.  The occasion is also known as ‘Dhamma Day’, and is one of the seven observance days at Nalanda.

On this observance day, we invite you to join us for the following programmes to spend a wholesome day cultivating generosity, virtuous conduct and mindfulness.
