They were ushered to the Pagoda by Sis Donna Wong, the secretary of BISDS, where the group met Chief Reverend, Ven Dhammaratana. After paying their respect to Chief Reverend and a short discussion, the group were led by Bro Tan KL, the BISDS EXCO member together with bro Prem from BMV to Asoka hall in Wisma Dharma Cakra for a video viewing on the history of BISDS and its activities.

With great gratitude to Ven Dhammasiri and his team, BISDS was presented with 3 sets of encyclopedias for BMV library and several other books compiled in soft copy as BISDS teaching tools. In appreciation to DhammaJata Vihara’s goodwill, BISDS have reciprocated with a modest gift of BISDS School Text Books as well K.Sri Dhammananda’s centenary books including several others books as a token of appreciation, presented by Bro Tan KL to the Committee of DhammaJata Vihara.
