On Wednesday 4 December, Nalandians and devotees had the opportunity to offer lunch dāna to Venerables Ajahn Cattamālo and Ajahn Cagino at Nalanda House.  Both Ajahns trained under the Thai forest monk tradition of Ajahn Chah.

In the evening, both new and regular devotees alike attended a guided meditation session and a Dhamma sharing by Ajahn Cattamālo at Nalanda Centre.  Ajahn shared about ways to anchor the mind on a meditation object.  He also emphasized the principles of Dhamma practice which relate to the understanding of the Four Noble Truths.  During the Question & Answer session, Ajahn and devotees all shared some light moments about their meditation experiences.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Ajahn Cattamālo for his meaningful and inspiring two-day visit to Nalanda.  We wish Ajahn a safe and pleasant journey travelling up north to Penang.  Sadhu anumodana!
