1 May marks the establishment date of Nalanda Buddhist Society Malaysia, and is designated as Nalanda Day. This year's celebration is extra-special to us as we observe Nalanda's 10th Anniversary! The day-long programme on 1 May 2013 starts with the morning puja at 9am, followed by official speeches, talks, and Sanghika Dana. In the evening, there will be a "Malam Mengenang Budi" Appreciation Dinner and performances to fete our benefactors, donors, supporters, devotees, and volunteers that have supported our educational work over the last decade. We invite everyone to come and rejoice over the progress made in holistic Buddhist education and integral human development. Sadhu anumodana!
