Attending Opening Ceremony of Lay Quarter and New Dining Hall at Vihara Buddha Gotama

On 19 August 2012, we organised a trip to Vihara Buddha Gotama, Temoh to attend the opening ceremony of lay quarters and new dining hall.

The trip was very well received. It was participated by 43 members and friends. We charged RM50 (without travel insurance) or RM60 (with travel insurance) per participant. After deducting bus rental and travel insurance, the balance of RM1,156 was fully donated towards the cost of wooden flooring for the lay quarters. Welfare Section also donated RM1,000 towards the Sangha Fund.

Bhante Dhammavuddho's preceptor, Phra Khru Watchara Thamvirot cut the ribbon to officiate the opening of the lay quarters and the new dining hall.

We had an audience with Bhante Dhammavuddho before bidding farewell to him.
On our way back to KL, we spent an hour of wonderful relaxing time at the Lata Kinjang waterfall.
