The new lunar year is just 2 days away!  Many of us are preparing our homes, meals for reunions, clothes and gifts as customary of Chinese culture and tradition.  Let us also consider how we can prepare ourselves in thought, speech and action to celebrate the new year by bringing harmony and unity to those around us.

The Nalanda Communications Team has prepared a Lunar New Year series to focus on values and endearing practices which we can reflect on as we spend the new days with our loved ones.  A highlight is the video produced by NalandaTV led by Nalanda youths together with Dhamma School facilitators, parents and students.

Working together in exploratory mode for many of the crew as they learn a new skill.

The shooting was done over just 2 days thanks to the harmonious mindset of everyone.

The crew had lots of fun together as well.

This endeavour not only delivers valuable reminders, it also served as a platform for everyone to hone new skills, enhance teamwork and trust as well as have fun together!  Do look out for the video which will be issued soon, as well as new year messages over the next week.

We also wish those who are travelling to have safe journeys and let us be a source of  harmony, peace and joy for the benefit of ourselves and everyone around us.  Stay tuned on Nalanda Facebook!

Families and youths come together to deliver wholesome messages for New Year.
