On Saturday 25 October, we welcomed 40 members of the ‘Fellowship of the Wise’ (FOW), to Wisdom Park for a visit of the educational campus.  FOW is an active ageing programme formed by Subang Jaya Buddhist Association (SJBA) in 2017 for senior citizens above 60, based on WHO’s framework and the Dhammapada.

This being their first visit to Wisdom Park, the group was led on a campus tour.  Appreciative of the parks and pavilions which conduce to Dhamma learning through experiential activities, many reflected that having a learning mindset is a blessing and a life-long quest.

FOW planted the Petaling tree, with the guidance of Dr. Chen Xing Wei.

Do come back for programmes here as well as to visit the tree you’ve planted!

We thank our friends from FOW for visiting us, and look forward to meeting them again at WACANA 2025 this December.  FOW’s Chairman Bro. Wang Hwee Beng, is a speaker in Forum 4 which will discuss ‘Graceful Ageing on the Path of Dhamma’.  Find out more about WACANA at wacana.nalanda.org.my.
