Across Malaysia, temples and Buddhist organisations that once buzzed with intergenerational activities now wonder how to engage youths who find traditional formats uninspiring. These aren’t abstract problems – they are the daily reality for countless communities. We invite you to join this special dialogue, a platform for honest conversations about these challenges and the strategies to overcome them, led by Bro. Yeo Disheng, Bro. Teo Heng Xuan and Bro. Willing Chen – three dynamic leaders recognised for championing youth empowerment and community building. The service starts at 9am on Sunday 21 December at Nalanda Centre. All are welcome.
