Nalandians Celebrate Our 10th Anniversary!

1 May 2013 was a special day for all Nalandians as we celebrated the Society’s 10th Anniversary! This milestone was significant as we recognised the growth and success of Nalanda as a Buddhist education provider over the past decade. Nalandians also aptly reflected with immense gratitude and appreciation for all the support, contributions and voluntary services by many devotees near and far, who have helped to forge Nalanda, in order for it to become the excellent facility that it is today. Thank you very much, and sadhu anumodana!
