Grateful for a meaningful start for the new year.

Today, 1 January 2026 marks 21 years since Nalanda Dhamma School was established.  Since then, the School has been focusing its earnest, energetic effort in performing the ‘Miracle of Education’ with the theme ‘The Heart of Education is Education of the Heart.’

On this day, Dhamma School facilitators and students together with Nalanda members paid respects to our Spiritual Adviser, Ven. B. Sri Saranankara at Sentul Temple. We were encouraged by Ven. Saranankara to continue our focus on training hearts and minds so that our students develop to have wholesome characters and be valued members in the community.

We take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to past and present Dhamma School Directors, facilitators, donors, supporters and volunteers for your invaluable contributions that enabled younger generations of Buddhists to learn Dhamma. Sadhu anumodana.
