Tt
has always being the wish of our Guru that we should have a permanent
premises to call our own. The reason being that with the stability of
not need to worry about rental and also the threat of needing to move
from time to time at the mercy of a landlord, it would allow the
centre to focus on the purpose of its existence, i.e. to perform
Dharma and Charitable activities so as to help more sentient beings.
Therefore,
it seems more than a coincidence that the date for us to pay our
final installment should fall on 16 September 2012, the day after we
have completed our 49 day cycle of Guru Puja in memory of our Guru.
Many of us was amazed at the all dates which seems to be auspiciously
arranged.
To
mark the occasion, we held a small thank giving dinner. The Building
Fund Committee had felt that a small but solemn event would be more
appropriate in view of the recent passing of our Guru. The event was
attended by many of the sponsors, friends and members. The Guests of
Honour for the dinner were Chief Reverend Saranankara of Sri Lanka
Buddhist Temple of Sentul Temple and Datuk Dr Victor Wee. We were
honoured to have the presence of these two distinguished guests, who
have been great friends to our centre.

A
further note on the matter, although we have completed the payment of
installments, the transfer of the building has yet to be executed.
The transfer can only be done after all the legal requirements has
been fulfilled, all the legal processes are now being handled by our
solicitors and also the relevant authorities.
It
has taken us five years to reached this stage, it would not have been
possible without the kindness and hard work of all the members,
sponsors, families and friends, we would like thank all of you for
your help.
A
special note of thanks should also go to all the members of the
Building Fund Committee, namely Bro HP Lim, Bro Lai SK, Bro Loo CK,
and Bro David Cheong Kian Young. Their planning, persistence and
perseverance had made the whole exercise less taxing on the centre
and committee members.
