This endearing tradition in Thailand is upheld where the younger generations pour water on the hands of elderly relatives and friends to show their respect and ask for blessings in the coming year.

This week, the people of Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Sri Lanka will welcome the New Year.  Nalanda Buddhist Society wishes all venerable monks, our teachers and friends a blessed and joyous new year.  May your celebrations be ever more meaningful and spiritual with your loved ones.  Happy New Year!
