Joyful hearts celebrating Dhamma School’s significant milestone.

On 1 January 2025, Nalanda Dhamma School marked its 20th Anniversary with a meaningful gathering at the Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple in Sentul. Nalanda members, facilitators, and students paid respects to our Spiritual Advisor Venerable B. Saranankara Thero and venerable Sangha members there.

Ven. Saranankara congratulated the school for its relentless efforts in sharing the Dhamma with younger generations and commended the whole Nalanda community for upholding and practising the Dhamma with much dedication. He encouraged everyone to embrace the true teachings of the Buddha and bring meaningful values to their own lives and others’. Venerable also presented tokens of appreciation to the past and present Directors of the school and acknowledged the unwavering commitment of all facilitators in nurturing students year after year.
