The venerable Sangha members were pleased to learn more about the life and contributions of the late Ven. Dr. K.

They expressed deep appreciation for the exhibition showcasing his legacy and the enduring impact of his teachings.
The visitors also rejoiced in the meaningful work undertaken by Nalanda to bring Dhamma to communities through a wide range of educational and outreach programmes. We wish the venerable Sangha members a safe and fruitful journey, and may they continue to succeed in their noble endeavours for the benefit of many.
