The 12th National Nalanda Members’ Convention, held from 1 to 3 May, brought together a heartfelt reunion of like-minded friends united by their love of the Dhamma. The event was filled with joy, reflection, and camaraderie as members reconnected, cherishing the warmth of community and shared purpose.  The gathering served as a reminder of the strength found in friendship and in practicing the Dhamma together.

Throughout the weekend, members engaged in meaningful deep discussions, and mutual support as they explored ways to grow in service and in spirituality.  Friends listened to one another’s reflections and challenges with care, offering encouragement and insights that uplifted the spirit of collective learning. The sense of unity extended beyond formal sessions, shining through in simple acts of kindness and attentive companionship.
