Connecting through Dhamma in Indonesia

During the study tour to Borobudur and Yogyakarta, the Nalanda group visited Vihara Mendut, Vihara Dhamma Sundara, Vihara Bodhivamsa, and ancient Buddhist candi in the region. These visits offered opportunities to appreciate the region’s Buddhist heritage and connect with those who continue to nurture the Dhamma today.  We are grateful to the local Sangha members, Buddhist leaders, and communities for their warm hospitality, which made the journey especially meaningful and strengthened friendships through our shared faith in the Buddha’s teachings.
