Today is the celebration of ‘Diwali’, or ‘Deepavali’ in Malaysia, often called the “festival of lights”.  The light that abolishes darkness is symbolic of the triumph of goodness over evil; truth over falsehood; and wisdom over ignorance.  Nalanda Buddhist Society wishes our Hindu friends a joyous celebration of ‘Diwali’.  May your reunions with family and friends be filled with goodwill and peace!
