Bro.Tan leading Nalandians in a pūja in memory of Acharya Buddharakkhita on 27 September 2013.

Bro. Tan led a group of Nalandians in a pūja this morning in honour of the most Venerable Acharya Buddharakkhita Maha Thero who passed away on Monday, 23 September, at the age of 91.  Bhante’s cremation ceremony is scheduled today in Bangalore at 10am local time.

In his brief sharing, Bro. Tan recalled Acharya Buddharakkhita’s visit to Nalanda Centre a few years ago, and the emphasis Bhante placed on quality Buddhist education.  Bro. Tan further shared that all lives end in death; what is truly important is how we spend the duration between our birth and death – wholesomely and wisely.

At the conclusion of the session, the congregation shared merits with Acharya Buddharakkhita, wishing the late venerable blissful peace.  SANTI.
