Dear Brothers and Sisters,Warmest greetings!
Many of you have witnessed the increasing number of educational activities organized by Nalanda over the past 6 years.
To accommodate the increasing number of people wanting to learn the Dhamma, Nalanda aims to complete the renovation of its 3-storey New Dharma Centre by the end of November 2009.
We are in high spirits and harbour high hopes that the New Dharma Centre, with well-equipped seminar hall, lecture room and library, will serve as a better learning facility to benefit the entire Malaysian Buddhist community for many more years to come.
The building project costs RM2.3 million in total, ie RM0.6 million for building, and RM1.7 million for renovation. As of now, we are short of almost RM1.3 million - a big sum for a small Society such as Nalanda. Nalanda members are now raising funds through organizing various events, besides soliciting donations from members, friends and the public.
Many of us have directly benefited from the educational programmes that Nalanda is offering. Hence, if you share Nalanda’s vision and mission in holistic Buddhist education, integral human development and effective Dhamma propagation, the management committee is now appealing to you to lend a helping hand to realize this noble project.
You may help us in several ways:
