The event held on Saturday, September 20, 2025, in Room 1204, UBM Tower, and was attended by 48 Buddhist students of Bunda Mulia University.

Through shared experiences and teachings, participants were invited to understand the importance of a Buddhist community in supporting their journey through university life, while reinforcing Dhamma values as a foundation for building healthy and supportive relationships as Kalyanamitta (spiritual friends).

Following the talk show, an Amisa Puja offering was presented to the Sangha members as a form of respect. The atmosphere was solemn and filled with gratitude. A blessing session then followed, led by Venerable Bhikkhu Cittagutto Mahāthera, with the prayer recited by Venerable Bhiksu Bhadra Pala Mahasthavira, allowing participants to collectively cultivate merit in a serene and meaningful setting.
