Morning alms-round around Sri Serdang.

From the early morning of Wesak full-moon, Wednesday 22 May, the Buddhist community gathered at Nalanda Centre to commemorate the Buddha’s Enlightenment over 2,600 years ago.  To pay tribute to our great Teacher, the Buddha, everyone observed this auspicious occasion by learning Dhamma, performing meritorious deeds and cultivating our minds in the company of spiritual friends.

“This year’s theme of ‘Peace begins with Me’ allowed me to start considering how my behaviours and thoughts affect myself and others.  I am beginning to understand how peace can only come from within, and is not reliant on others.”  It was a day well spent indeed, as devotees shared their reflections and joy from a day of Dhamma cultivation.

We invite you to join us tonight for the Peace Walk at NEO Centre in Happy Garden at 6pm, and the Sunday Morning Service featuring a Dhamma talk in Mandarin by Bro. Aggaphala Yap at 9am.  Let us also continue exploring this theme throughout the year, to explore and contemplate how we can truly embody peace.  Sukhihontu.
