Have a joyful Deepavali

‘Deepavali’ (or ‘Diwali’ ) celebrates the symbolic triumph of goodness over evil; and the victory of knowledge over ignorance.  Just as light dispels darkness, even so, wisdom dispels foolishness. On this festive occasion, Nalanda Buddhist Society wishes our Hindu friends a “Joyous Deepavali” filled with amity, harmony, and peace!  Enjoy a wonderful celebration with family and friends, and discover a ‘world of brightness and light’ in others, and within ourselves.
