Ceremony of International Buddhist Day at the Sattapanniguha Auditorium
Light of Buddhism has reached the African continent full of hope for the future.
The twentieth century, and in particular our generation has, as a result often lived at edge of dangers.
As we celebrate this year’s International Buddhist Day, I invite everybody to redouble our efforts to ensure comprehensive peace everywhere for everyone. Let us therefore continue recognizing, celebrating, respecting and appreciating our unity in diversity; then individual peace, domestic peace, nation peace, reginal and global peace will be guaranteed for all of us.
I wish everybody a happy Fifth International Buddhist Day. May all sentient beings be well, happy, and peaceful.
