Update | 𝐀𝐫𝐢𝐲𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐡𝐚̄ 𝐒𝐚𝐧̇𝐠𝐡𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐃𝐚̄𝐧𝐚 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 | 12 April 2026

It was a joyous and auspicious day as the Fourfold Assembly gathered once again in harmony and devotion for the 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗦𝗮ṅ𝗴𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗮 𝗗ā𝗻𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, held at The Space, Level 2, 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗧𝗗𝗜, Kuala Lumpur. The event was graced by the presence of most venerable Saṅgha members — both bhikkhus and bhikkhunis — led by the Most Venerable Bhante B. Sri Saranankara Nāyaka Mahā Thera and the Abbess of Ariya Vihara, Venerable Sumaṅgalā Therī bringing with them their wise and compassionate presence to bless all in attendance.

It was a truly meritorious occasion as devoted kalyāṇamittas had the blessed opportunity to meet the Saṅgha and present offerings of the four requisites — food, robes, requisites, and shelter — in support of the building of Malaysia's 1st Theravada Bhikkhuni Sima, Nunnery & Dhamma Training Centre. Generous sponsors and donors also had the meaningful opportunity to sponsor the main and supporting pillars of this noble landmark project.

With hearts full of joy, devotees lit candles, made offerings, and gathered at round tables to partake in the meal dana, strengthening the bonds of kalyāṇamittatā on this special day. As the Saṅgha imparted their blessings through chanting and Dhamma sharing, we joyfully shared merits with all beings and lovingly dedicated the merits accrued to our departed relatives and friends.

We express our most profound thanks and heartfelt gratitude to all the Saṅgha members who graced the event with their wise and compassionate presence. Our sincere appreciation also goes to the Organizing Committee, benefactors, volunteers, helpers, sponsors, donors, and every individual who played a part in making this a truly fruitful and memorable event — for your boundless generosity, invaluable contributions, and wholehearted commitment.

May all rejoice in the meritorious actions performed and attain the bliss of Awakening at the earliest opportunity 🙏😇✨

Invitation | 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗸 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 | 31 May 2026

Wesak or 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗵𝗮 𝗗𝗮𝘆, is the thrice-sacred day honouring the Birth, Enlightenment (Buddhahood) and Passing Away (Mahāparinibbāna) of our great teacher, the 𝗟𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗵𝗮. This year, on Sunday, 31 May 2026, 𝗔𝗿𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮 celebrates this profound occasion at 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗧𝗗𝗜 𝗞𝗟 with the theme 🪷 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 🪷

Throughout the day, there will be a variety of meaningful programs and activities – providing precious opportunities to cultivate dāna (generosity), sīla (morality) and bhāvanā (investigating the mind), together with liked-minded kalyāṇamitta.

Join us for a meaningful recorded sketch on the life of the Buddha and Mahāpajāpatī Gotamī — the Buddha’s foster mother and the pioneer behind the rise of the Bhikkhunī Sangha. This insightful and touching story beautifully reflects the Buddha’s compassion, wisdom, and teachings, while honoring the strength, devotion, and spiritual journey of women in Buddhism.

Whether you are a long-time Buddhist, a new Buddhist, or simply curious to learn more about the Dhamma, all are warmly welcome. Come and be inspired this Wesak Day 🙏

Sādhu Sādhu Sādhu! 🙏🙏🙏

On 24 April 2026, Ariya Vihara was delighted to receive a generous donation of Tipiṭaka books in Pali and English from Ven. Anh Sáng Tuệ Minh (Wisdom Light Cultivation Center, Canada). The books were brought by Venerable Sayadaw Janaka Mahathera (Dean of ITBM University, Myanmar), Bhikkhunī Nguyen Thi Nga from Vietnam, and Sayalay Khemavaṃsī from Indonesia.

We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the lay devotees who kindly coordinated and supported the donation process, as well as the offering of lunch dāna to the Saṅgha.

May the merits accrued bring blessings, wisdom and well-being to all. May the Venerable Anh Sáng Tué Minh be blessed with peace of mind and ease of body and realize the bliss of Nibbana.

Sādhu, Sādhu, Sādhu! 🙏🙏🙏

Dear Dhamma family and friends,

We are happy to share a meaningful opportunity to participate in the offering of 𝟭𝟬𝟴 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗥𝗜𝗬𝗔 𝗩𝗜𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗔 𝗕𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗶 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹.

The offering of precious items into a chamber in a Sangha Monastery is an act of deep faith, reverence, and merit-making. Gold represents purity, preciousness, a very valuable form of offering. By placing these gold balls within the central chamber, we symbolically offer our faith, gratitude, and generosity at the very heart of this sacred space.

Such offerings of precious metals have also been made in the past with the aspiration for the long life and prolongation of the Buddha-sāsana. As precious metals retain value over time, they may also serve as a future support for the monastery and stupas, should repairs, restoration, or preservation works ever be needed. In this way, the offering becomes both a sacred act of devotion and a practical support for the continued flourishing of the sāsana for future generations.

For this offering, there will be 108 gold balls available:

𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
9 gold balls will be offered as a collective group donation. Anyone who wishes to participate may offer any amount towards this group offering.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗱𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
The remaining 99 gold balls will be open for individual sponsorship at RM500 per ball.

These 108 GOLD Balls will be offered on Wesak Day 31st May at ARIYA VIHARA's Wesak Day celebration at Menara KEN TTDI.

This is a rare and beautiful opportunity to take part in an offering that will be enshrined within the Central Chamber of the Sima Hall, becoming part of a sacred space for future generations to venerate and recollect the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha.

May this offering be a condition for the long life of the Buddha-sāsana, the flourishing of the Bhikkhuni Sangha, the preservation of the monastery and stupas, the growth of wisdom and compassion, and the welfare and liberation of all beings.

Those who feel inspired to participate may kindly contact us to reserve an individual gold ball or to contribute towards the group offering.

Sadhu x 108 🙏🏼
