Nalanda youths had undertaken much preparations for the procession, led by Bro. Yeo Disheng.
Two days ago, on Sunday 14 May, Buddha Day volunteers gathered back at Nalanda Centre for an appreciation session hosted by the organising committee. Chairperson Sis. Livin Leow extended our heartfelt gratitude for the volunteers’ support, cooperation and care for everyone who came to Nalanda to honour the Buddha.
Visitors from near and far, gave feedback that they felt welcomed during the Wesak celebrations, as they were warmly greeted and well guided by hosts and volunteers in joining the Dhamma programmes and exhibitions. Many gained a better understanding of how to commemorate this important event in a more meaningful way, putting to rest beliefs and hear-say.
We thank all volunteers for their selfless service.

The calmness and composure of everyone, even when faced with challenges, enabled this year’s Buddha Day Observance to be seamless and impactful.
