      Story of Dhamma Earth Penang Center 

      Tusita Penang was setup in year 2014 at a shop lot in Bayan Lepas being offered by one of the members. The early activities were Wesak Day Celebration, Chinese New Year eve lamp lighting and Sunday Buddha pūjā. Charity visits and short meditation retreat were then slowly added. The Sunday activities also evolved like adding Sunday Children Dhamma Class, Dhamma talk by Bhante and offering of lunch dāna. 

      The number of activities and devotees increase over time. We are blessed that in 2019, when the sub-committee was looking for a new venue to meet the influx of devotees, a couple from the sub-committee dana a 3-storey bungalow to Tusita Penang for 3 years. Thus, the birth of our new center located at Sg Ara on 12th December 2019, a more conducive environment to cater more devotees to practice Dhamma and to participate in Dhamma activities. We are grateful to have Bhante Maṅgala and few monastics to officially open the Ariyapariyesanāvāsa on 15th December 2019. 

      Please come and join us on our Dhamma activities with your loved ones. May all beings be well and happy! Sādhu! Sādhu! Sādhu!
