The first monthly Pindacāra of 2026 at Pasar Basah Bazar Rakyat, Seri Kembangan, was held on Saturday 17 January. It was a rare and inspiring occasion with four members of the Saṅgha from Dhamma Earth – Ven. U Paññasami, Ven. Sudanta, Sayalay Nanacari and Sayalay Mettā Viharī – walking peacefully and mindfully on alms-round.
Regular marketgoers and stall operators warmly welcomed the opportunity to perform dāna, while many newcomers also came forward enthusiastically to learn about the Pindacāra programme and made offerings to the Saṅgha for the first time. The marketplace was filled with an atmosphere of generosity, faith and wholesomeness.
This Pindacāra was made even more meaningful with the participation of youths from the Young Working Adults who volunteered wholeheartedly. Their joyful service inspired many devotees present.
Following the alms-round, Ven. Paññasami gave a Dhamma talk emphasising the importance of harmony among volunteers, rejoicing in wholesome deeds, and inspiring more people to learn the Buddha-Dhamma.
We rejoice in everyone’s participation. May these merits nurture wisdom, compassion and happiness in all. Sādhu anumodāna!

Ven. U Paññasami, Ven. Sudanta, Sayalay Nanacari and Sayalay Mettā Viharī graced Nalanda Center with their visit.
