On Saturday 31 October, a group of Nalanda members visited the Buddhist Missionary Society Malaysia (BMSM) Pa-Auk Dhammavijaya Meditation Centre in Dengkil, Selangor, to commemorate the 20th Memorial Anniversary of the late Venerable Dr. K. Sri Dhammananda, Nalanda’s late Spiritual Advisor.

At this peaceful retreat centre, members participated in chanting, listened to the Dhamma, offered lunch dāna, and toured the centre to learn more about its environment and spiritual activities.  A highlight of the visit was paying respects to Sayadaw Silacara and receiving Dhamma teachings from him.  His guidance offered valuable reflections on the practical application of the Buddha’s teachings and the importance of nurturing wisdom through learning and personal cultivation.
