18 March 2013 marks the 95th birth anniversary of Nalanda’s late Spiritual Advisor, the Most Venerable Kirinde Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Thero. This day is also Nalanda Patron’s Day, an annual event to commemorate and appreciate all our donors, benefactors and volunteers who have contributed tremendously to the growth of Nalanda over the years. 

Dedicating merits to our late Spiritual Advisor Venerable K Sri Dhammananda. May he be ever peaceful.

Nalandians visited the Buddhist Maha Vihara in Brickfields this morning, and offered Sanghika Dana with faith and devotion. May the merits accrued lead all beings to freedom from suffering. May all be well and happy.
