WACANA – the premier Malaysian conference where the Sangha and laity gather to discuss pertinent issues that affect the Buddhist movement, has been organised by Nalanda Institute Malaysia since 2007 and this year will partner Theravada Buddhist Council of Malaysia (TBCM).
WACANA Conference : 1 July 2017 at 'The Saujana Hotel', Subang, Selangor.
This year’s WACANA Conference will be the fifth since 2007. It is scheduled to
be held on Saturday, 1 July 2017, in Subang Jaya, Selangor. The theme for
the conference is "The Buddha Word – Discovering the Essential".
Given the rise of misleading teachings and ‘pseudo-Buddhism’ nowadays, no
wonder there is so much confusion among the community when it comes to
the practice. Worryingly, what sounds‘Buddhistic’ may not be the real
teachings of the Blessed One after all.The objective of the Conference is to
address the challenge many people face today in learning aboutBuddhism -
what exactly did the Buddha teach? What teachings, doctrines, and practices
constitute the 'Buddha Word'?
WACANA 2017 aims to tackle this critical issue by hosting an illustrious panel
of speakers to addressit. Among the presenters at the Conference are Sangha
members and prominent leaders of the lay community. The Theravada
Buddhist Council of Malaysia is supporting Nalanda Institute in organising the
Conference.
We invite all concerned Buddhists to attend WACANA 2017 so that we can
pool our ideas and precious resources to propagate the true teachings of the
Buddha for generations to come.
Jointly organised by Nalanda Institute Malaysia and Theravada Buddhist
Council of Malaysia
