Nalanda Building Progress – 140 days on

Today marks the 140th day since the Nalanda Centre Building Expansion Project began.  Work is progressing smoothly on all levels, especially at Level 4 and the roof structure.  The Building Committee has indicated that Levels 2 & 3 may be completed earlier and handed over to Nalanda by mid-October.  This timely development will come in handy as Nalanda Centre will be hosting major events in the last quarter of the year, such as “Sangha Day”, holiday camps, members’ convention, and group visits.

Nalanda Members’ Day in September

On Sunday 21 September, Nalanda Buddhist Society members from Sri Serdang and Kuala Lumpur Branch gathered for a ‘family’ reunion at our ‘spiritual home’ – Nalanda Centre – for another Members’ Day.  The gathering started with a piece of good news  – our youths’ effort in producing a video titled ‘Hope’ for Siddharthan Care Centre won the best short film category in a recent competition.  The inspiring video was shown to Nalandians, and everyone rejoiced at the achievement of Bro. Andrew Tan, Bro. Gan Jia Cheng and Sis. Tan Ee Yean. Read more
