THE ancient Buddhist tradition of offering alms to monks (Pindapata) and making a collective offering to the monastic community (Maha Sanghikadana) embody the Buddhist virtue of dana (generosity).
Penang Buddhist Association (PBA), which is marking the 100th year since its founding, has continued to uphold this to nurture Buddhist education, safeguard cultural heritage and carry out charitable works while evolving to meet the needs of future generations.
