On the 24th of October 2003, on a Friday evening, Dr. Dharmadhara from the Western Buddhist Order (WBO) gave a talk on how one can awaken the Bodhi Heart within through compassion. A crowd of over 40 people turned up to listen to his talk which deals with his experiences on practicing loving- kindness as well as relating stories from the sutras.

The intermittent showers on the morning of Sunday, 21 October, 2003 did not deter a large crowd from turning up for the Anniversary Celebration of Wan Ching Yuen Centre and Than Hsiang Fund.

On a hot humid day in Penang, a group of Than Hsiang ICT staff began preparations for a short trip to Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary(SBS) in Taiping, about an hour’s drive away. I had made prior arrangements with Sis. Lay Hoon, the Public Relations Manager of SBS, on the time and date for our meeting. We were looking forward to this trip, as we had seen the wonderful pictures of SBS, published in their newsletters.
