Spirit of kalyana mittata soars at WACANA 2025
WACANA 2025 was more than a platform for learning and reflection, as many Dhamma friends reunited and re-acquainted with one another. Many had looked forward to this Conference, arriving early in the morning on Saturday 20 December and bumping into friends in the Dhamma circle every few steps.
We are warmed by the broad smiles, hand-to-heart anjali’s, and hearty handshakes as the Dhamma community came together in camaraderie. New friendships were forged as well, strengthening the bonds of fellowship in communities across Malaysia and neighbouring countries as well.
Always a joy reconnecting with good friends.
