Last weekend, from Friday 30 October to Monday 3 November, Nalanda members were delighted to see Bro. Ooi Choong Li once again back at Nalanda Centre!  A good spiritual friend to many since he started to learn and serve at Nalanda from 2008, Bro. Choong Li has been recuperating back at his hometown, Penang due to a serious accident back in 2019.

His recovery was an arduous ordeal which he endured with much courage, patience and with the support of many kalyana mittas.  Whilst he regains more strength physically, Bro. Choong Li puts much effort towards his mental and spiritual well-being as well. He inspired many with his sharing and reflections of his journey, and even his every day life. In his session with Dhamma School teenagers, he gave them much insight with simple answers on how he overcome the tremendous challenge of being incapacitated for years after the accident.

Bro. Choong Li was high in spirits as he shared his experience and insights with various learning groups over the weekend.

We are grateful to have Bro. Choong Li back at Nalanda Centre for a visit.

Even as members reminisce fondly with Bro. Choong Li, they can’t help but recollect his admirable qualities of humility, kindness and compassion which touched the lives of many over the years.  All of us at Nalanda wishes Bro. Choong Li continued recovery so that he may once again join us in service to the Sāsana. 加油！
