“Nalanda Patron’s Day” is an annual programme to commemorate and appreciate all our donors, benefactors and volunteers who have contributed tremendously to the growth of Nalanda Buddhist Society, and to the development of Buddhist education in Malaysia.  Today, 18 March 2023 also marks the 105th birth anniversary of Nalanda’s late Spiritual Advisor, the Most Venerable Kirinde Sri Dhammananda Nayaka Thero, who christened us with the name ‘Nalanda’ exactly 20 years ago.

On this day, Nalanda members and devotees offer ‘pūja’ for the well-being of all our benefactors, past and present.  We also transfer merits to those who have passed away.  We invite all members and devotees to perform wholesome deeds and dedicate merits to the late Ven. K. Sri Dhammananda and all benefactors.  Sabbe sattā sukhihontu.
