Your opinion on Waisak day celebration

Happy Vesak Day !

I wish there were more people in the world who were aware of the urgency to act on climate change by adapting a plant-based diet, which everybody can do, to reduce the gases from commercial animal farms' activities. Eighty percent of global warming can be halted by being a vegan, the Buddha's compassionate way of life.

May all beings be blessed with endless happiness!

Suman Sutra

Jakarta

Thrills of Vesak may not last. The teaching of Buddha can only be implemented through care movements to the people and all Buddhists must find the key of Nirvana Gate.

Through Vesak, Buddhists must be aware that they are not only valuable to oneself but also to all people in around the world. All disputes must be worked out in peace.

There are still many problems to be finalized in togetherness and empathy is the most important tool. Don't close your eyes to the poor or to the marginalized ones. Humanity and immateriality are our vision.

Let's honor other religions' celebrations and the fact we live in a world rich with a rich diversity of race, country, culture, and religion.
