As part of Āyasmā Aggacitta Dhamma tour 2025, a Sutta Study with Meditation Workshop is being organised.
In 1994 while I was staying in Shwe Taungong Paṇḍitārāma, Yangon, I wrote an article in answer to a question posed by a Malaysian nun, Sister Vivekanandī, who was then meditating there. It was later published in 1995 as a booklet by Buddhist Wisdom Centre, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, entitled Cessation Experiences and the Notion of Enlightenment: Tentative Findings of a Preliminary Research.
Āyasmā Aggacitta cites passages from the Pāli suttas to highlight several misconceptions about Gotama's search for awakening and the nature of the jhānas and āruppas. As usual his well structured arguments are solidly based on the Pāli suttas and practical experience, with significant impact on Dhamma practice.
May the triple gem bless Bhante Dhammapala with good health, longevity, success and happiness.

This Vesak Day, let us take a moment to be thankful for this life – a life in which we have the capacity to cultivate gratitude and kindness.
As we bow before the Buddha on this auspicious day commemorating the Birth, Enlightenment, and the Passing of our Great Teacher, may our hearts be filled with gratitude for His teachings of compassion, wisdom, peace, and goodwill. These timeless teachings have moved the hearts of millions across the world and through generations.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that there will be a physical meeting for
the Fifteen (15th) Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the
Theravada Buddhist Council of Malaysia (TBCM) for the year 2026.
The physical AGM will be conducted at
Sri Lanka Buddhist Temple, Lot 85,
Jalan Sentul, Sentul, 51000 Kuala Lumpur
on Saturday, 20 June 2026 at 9.00 am.
In a move that underscores the Malaysian government’s commitment to religious diversity, the MADANI administration will organize a large-scale National Wesak Day Celebration in May 2026. The event, spearheaded by the Ministry of National Unity in collaboration with the Ministry of Transport and the Malaysian Buddhist Consultative Council (MBCC), aims to foster unity, harmony, and multi-religious tolerance. This celebration is more than a commemoration; it is a statement of national identity. Malaysia stands as the only Muslim-majority country in the world where Wesak (Vesak) is observed as a federal public holiday - a distinction won through the tireless efforts of the Buddhist community over six decades ago.

Pindacāra, the practice of collecting alms-food, is observed by Theravada Buddhist monks who have gone forth from ‘home-life’ to ‘homelessness’. A Buddhist monk is known in Pāli Language as a ‘bhikkhu’ – meaning ‘one who lives on alms’.
In Buddhist countries such as Thailand and Myanmar, it is a daily ritual for monks to go onPindacāra, where they walk through a village from one household to another, allowing devotees to make food offerings.
