In Buddhism, there has been a long-standing tradition of laymen giving alms to monks. In Thailand, for example, Buddhist monks go on a daily alms round to collect food. In Singapore, laymen donate into donation boxes in temples. However, most of us might not know exactly why we are doing this. Is it a form of tradition? Or is it as a path of practice formulated by the Buddha for lay people?

We are happy to invite everyone to join NTU BS’ upcoming Dharma Talk: Why give alms?Aside from sharing by their members, Sis. Sylvia Bay will be the special guest speaker for the event. She holds a BA (Hons) in Buddhist Studies from the Buddhist & Pali University of Sri Lanka, and was a lecturer with her alma mater. In 2013, she published her first book “Between The Lines: An Analytical Appreciation of The Buddha’s Life”.

Details of the events:

Alongside this event, NTUBS is hosting one of their biggest Dana campaigns: Giving from the Heart. The event aims to give everyone an opportunity to express their respect to the Triple Gem, especially the Sangha, and to practice their generosity in the form of giving alms (dana).

The details of the Dana Campaign are as follows:
1. The campaign will last from 16 Oct - 25 Oct.
2. For every $1 donated, NTUBS will also donate $1 to the Sangha community.
3. The alms collected will be donated to Wat Ananda Metyarama Thai Buddhist Temple once the campaign ends.
4. Please see further instructions in the attached pic!

We hope to see you in the event! 🤗
