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.
