A joyful group photo after a wholesome morning.

Last Sunday 12 May, Nalanda Dhamma School hosted a special forum for the final session of the Parents Induction Programme.  Parents listened intently to the panellist of Dhamma School graduates who shared how their lives had improved over the years because of Dhamma learning and cultivation from young, as well as the development of kalyana mittata (spiritual friendship) which continue to support them today.

Having experienced for themselves the joy of Dhamma, Bro. Yeo Disheng, Sis. Ng Xelynn and Sis. Lim Cai Pei echoed each other’s zeal for service, driven by gratitude.  With a will to repay those who have made it possible for them to learn Dhamma, they are also paying-it-forward by availing the same for others.  Participants rejoiced in their wholesome journey, and were energised themselves to persist in Dhamma cultivation as a family.
