Education Team

Dhamma School teachers had a blast of a time with energetic programmes on the third day of their National Camp held in Puchong, Selangor. Achariya S. Vijaya, Chairman of Nalanda Education Team, conducted a workshop to help teachers understand the power of drama and story-telling.

This Thursday 21 September, we look forward to welcome 150 participants to the 4-day inaugural National Camp for Dhamma teachers at Kinrara Resort in Puchong. Nalanda Buddhist Society, the Theravada Buddhist Council of Malaysia (TBCM), and the Buddhist Institute Sunday Dhamma School (BISDS) are jointly organizing this camp to discuss how to share the Buddha’s teachings in a systematic, engaging, and effective manner to the younger generation.

As we celebrate 10 glorious years of service to the Buddha-Sāsana under the banner of ‘Nalanda Institute Malaysia’, we wish to record our deepest gratitude and appreciation to our Founding-Director Achariya Dr. Tan Ho Soon, our immediate past Director Achariya Vijaya Samarawickrama, and our present Director Achariya Tan Siang Chye, all officers past and present, our benefactors, sponsors, supporters, volunteers, as well as the alumni of the Institute.

We are honoured to have Nalanda founder Bro. Tan, Achariya Vijaya Samarawickrama, and Achariya Tan Siang Chye to jointly conduct a “Dhamma Forum” this Sunday morning. They will form a panel together with other speakers and moderators of WACANA 2017 to discuss and answer many fundamental questions related to Buddhist practice.

Message from Achariya Vijaya Samarawickrama, Chairman of Nalanda Education Team

“Honouring the Buddha as our Teacher and Refuge”

This week, we joyfully observe the most important date on the Buddhist calendar as we welcome the year 2561 of the Buddhist Era. It is a time to rejoice spiritually as we reflect with gratitude on how fortunate we are to have taken birth during a time when the Dhamma which was taught by the Sammā Saṃbuddha is still available. We are truly blessed to celebrate every ‘Buddha Day’.

Respected Nalanda Achariyas Bro. Tan Ho Soon and Vijaya Samarawickrama will deliver a series of 12 talks on the theme “Doctrine and Practice” as part of the Dhamma Dāna Lecture Series organized by the Buddhist Maha Vihara for 2017.

On 11 December 2016, Nalandians observed Nalanda ‘Education Day’, which marked the anniversary of the launching of our “Education Philosophy”. In conjunction with this important occasion, the Director of Nalanda Institute Achariya Tan Siang Chye gave a Dhamma talk expounding the purpose and importance of Buddhist education, highlighting its pivotal role in modern times.

In conjunction with Nalanda ‘Education Day’, 35 Nalanda officers gathered at Nalanda Centre on 12 December 2016 for the second-ever Nalanda Education Workshop. The aim of the workshop was to chart and align the direction of all Nalanda education divisions in accordance with the ‘Nalanda Education Philosophy’.

The Nalanda Education Team (N.E.T.) gathered tonight for its first monthly meeting of 2017. N.E.T. Chairman Achariya Vijaya Samarawickrama led the discussions on Dhamma-learning programmes planned for the year, including the upcoming WACANA Buddhist Conference scheduled on 1 July.

Nalanda founder Bro. Tan officially resumed his work this morning at Nalanda Centre after being away for a month on pilgrimage and retreat. His first formal activity today was a meeting with Achariya S. Vijaya, Chairman of Nalanda Education Team, to discuss upcoming courses and programmes. This will be followed by meetings with the Society’s leadership, management, and members. We warmly welcome Bro. Tan back to Sri Serdang.
