Amongst the countless activities successfully organized are as follows:

All these activities organized by the Association are focused on providing holistic Buddhist education, spiritual development and propagation of the Buddha-Dhamma.
One of the memorable achievements of the Association is the successful building of our present Vihara (Temple) in 1997 on a ½ acre land given by the Selangor Government. The Vihara has been well utilized over these years. However, it has insufficient space for its on-going activities. In recognition of SJBA’s exemplary contribution to the Community, the Selangor State Government approved another 5,000 sq ft of land next to the our Vihara for building extension. On this piece of land, SJBA built a new 4-storey extension (with a basement) to house Sunday Dhamma School Classrooms, a Multi-purpose Meditation Hall, a Senior Citizen Centre and a Dana Hall. With these additional facilities, SJBA is moving forward to a higher level of service to the Triple Gem and to the Community.
