The year’s first Pindacara at Happy Garden
This monthly programmes enables us to reach out the community for them to learn the value of generosity.
In the early morning of 7 January, the first Saturday of the new year, Nalanda volunteers & devotees gathered at the new NEO Centre in Happy Garden for the first session of the Pindacāra (monks on alms-round) programme.
Market-goers and stall vendors welcomed this opportunity to perform good deeds and were quick to prepare their offerings to support the Mahā Sangha. As the interest of on-lookers were piqued, volunteers helped them to understand the meaning behind this act of giving so that they may participate with understanding and faith.
Early in the morning, volunteers and devotees gather for a wholesome morning.
Dhamma brothers walk respectfully behind the monk to provide their support.
Market-goers who are familiar with this programme patiently wait to support the Sangha.
