For seven weeks after the Buddha’s Enlightenment on Wesak full-moon in May, He contemplated on the Dhamma with His perfectly clear faculty of comprehension.  Then, He travelled for seven days from Bodhgaya to Sarnath, where He preached the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta on the Asalha full-moon (Dhamma Day) in July.

It is during this period that the Nalanda members and volunteer observe Gimhāna Retreat, as we endeavour to commit to a period of relatively intensive Dhamma learning and group-practice.  We welcome everyone to come and understand the Dhamma through guided, communal, and personal practice at Nalanda during the Gimhāna Retreat from 19 May to 2 July.   The first session will start with the new-moon Uposatha Service tonight at 8pm with a Dhamma talk by Ven. Rahula.  All are welcome.
