(Asian Independent)- The Tamil Buddhists of Indonesia in collaboration with Tamil Buddhist Council of India invited Mr. Gauthama Prabhu Nagappan of the Triratna Buddhist Community to pay a visit to Vihara Adi Dharma Shanti located at Thangjong Murawa, Medan, Indonesia on the Friday of 17th November 2023. He was received by the esteemed members of the Vihara such as Mr. Saddhavira Sanden, Mrs. Srantimala, Mr.Siwaji, Mrs. Mahamaya, Mr. Ayyanar, Mr. Kumaresan, Mr. Kalidas, Mr. Arun Vinsen, Mr. Bhadrapala, Mr. Ramesh Kumar, Mr. Masilamani, and Mrs. Sharmila. The program started with Dhammachari Saddhavira Sanden doing the puja under the Tamil Buddhist tradition of Medan with the teachings of Mahaupasak Pandithar D. Kumarasamy.
Rev. Mr. Gauthama Prabhu was requested to deliver Dhamma Talk on WHY I AM A BUDDHIST as per the teachings of Bhante Urgyen Sangharakhita. The talk became a great success and many were interested to learn and discuss more about Buddhism. The spiritual dedication that the community showed is exceptional. Without the teachings and practice of Triratna Boudha Mahasangha it would not have been possible to deliver such Buddhist lectures. We express our special thanks to Mr. Vasudevan and Mr. Bhaskaran to introduce me and also coordinate the whole event.
With metta! 🪷🪷🪷
