The customary flag-raising ceremony on the first day of Dhamma School at NEO Centre J. B.

The Nalanda Dhamma School year began in Serdang, Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru centres simultaneously on Sunday, 3 January.  The Dhamma School in J.B. is catered for teenagers aged 13 to 17.  A total of 40 weekly sessions plus 3 special occasions are scheduled in the school calendar.

At NEO Centre Johor Bahru, facilitators and students began the first session of 2016 with the customary raising of the Buddhist flag, followed by meditation and chanting.  The students’ parents attended a separate induction course to introduce them to Nalanda’s educational philosophy and Buddhist culture.  This induction programme for parents will run for 5 weeks.
