Merdeka to Malaysia Day with Dāna, Sīla and Bhāvanā 🇲🇾

31 August – 16 September 2026

As our nation marks these days of remembrance and unity, we rejoice in the opportunity to mark them together at MBMC.

Come with your family and sow seeds of generosity — an offering in kind or in cash, in support of the noble Sangha and the yogis in practice. Every dāna, however modest, becomes a share in the merit.

And should your heart incline towards stillness, do join us for a retreat and meditate with us. There is joy in practising together.

🍚 Breakfast Dāna: 6:30 am
🍚 Lunch Dāna: 11:00 am
📍 Bhojanasālā, MBMC

May all our wholesome deeds bring us strength, protection and happiness always.

Kneeling low, eyes cast down, rice ready in my hands. Mindfully the Sangha draws near. Joy fills the body, tears fill the eyes. Every grain given. The bowl is filled.

低身跪地,双目低垂,米已在手。僧伽于正念中渐近。喜悦充满全身,泪水盈满双眼。每一粒米皆已供养。钵已盛满。

Sādhu! Sādhu! Sādhu!

Rare beyond rare — to sow in the Sangha’s fertile field! While breath is ours, we give with gladness now.

🌿 Vassa Entry 2026

On this sacred occasion, the Sangha enters the Rains Retreat — a period devoted to deeper practice, discipline and Dhamma cultivation.

May devotees take this opportunity to strengthen faith through Dāna, Sīla and Bhāvanā, and support the Sangha with a joyful and respectful heart.

May these merits be a supporting condition for the growth of wisdom and the attainment of Nibbāna.

Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu!
