In every home, society, or community, there are endearing and wholesome traditions that bring people together. For Nalanda members, one such cherished tradition is taking leave from the society’s leaders and teachers before returning home for Chinese New Year.
This meaningful practice of seeking forgiveness from the society leaders and teachers for any negligence in body, speech, and mind, whether intentional or unintentional, gives us the chance to reflect on our overall conduct the past year. It reminds and encourages us to grow in mindfulness and to do better in the year ahead.

At the same time, it is a precious opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our leaders and teachers for their guidance, care, and unwavering support. As we return to our families, we carry with us gratitude, humility, and renewed resolve.
We wish everyone a safe journey home and a meaningful holiday with loved ones.
