MORE than 200 Buddhist monks and nuns gathered together with hundreds of devotees at the Penang Chinese Town Hall in Jalan Masjid Kapitan Keling to take part in the 25th Annual National Maha Sanghikadana 2015.

Among the programmes organised were the chanting of suttas, offering of food to the ‘Sangha’ (a monastic community of ordained Buddhist monks or nuns) and transference of merits.
