A Two-Day, One-Night Purification Journey to Lembah Bujang, Kedah

We warmly invite all Dhamma friends to join us in practising the Ten Bases of Meritorious Deeds (Dasa Puññakiriyavatthu). In a peaceful and conducive environment for spiritual practice, let us set aside our daily concerns and return to the present moment through meditation, mindfulness and the study of the Dhamma, cultivating inner peace and wisdom.

May we take this precious opportunity to associate with spiritual friends and wise teachers, deepen our practice, cultivate wholesome qualities and spend meaningful and enriching time together on this spiritual journey.

Sādhu! Sādhu! Sādhu! 🙏
