A three-day 'World Peace Program' began on Thursday at the International Buddhist Conference Hall in Lumbini.
The program was inaugurated by Kalpana Harijan, acting mayor of Lumbini Cultural Municipality, and Nikesh Adhikari, president of the organizer, The Promise Land.
Acting Mayor Harijan said that initiatives will be taken to implement Buddhist education in 10 community schools in the area. 'There are many municipalities in the world, but there is only one birthplace of Buddha. Such programs are important for world peace and prosperity,' she said.
On the first day of the program, Sudhansu Dahal had a dialogue with Tamrat Lane, former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, on spiritual transformation, leadership, lessons on world peace, and community empowerment. Tamrat said, 'We come from different countries, and peace is what we all want.'
LP Bhanu Sharma of the Institute of Life Sciences gave a presentation on meditation, discussing the 10,000-year-old spiritual history of Nepal.
Similarly, actor Rajesh Hamal and Treasure Carbon Group CEO Susan Zhu gave 'keynote speeches'. Hamal said that Nepalis have a great asset in being able to laugh even when they are disappointed. 'The conflicts in my films are for a few moments, but conflicts continue to occur in society,' he said, 'We all have to work for peace.' In the
program, Sagar Bhante emphasized that there are two Lumbinis within Lumbini and that work should now be done for the betterment of the residents outside the development fund. 'The world's richest Buddhists are willing to invest. We can work according to the law by coordinating with local bodies,' he said. The
program is attended by leaders from Nepal and abroad, scholars, UN cultural ambassadors, businessmen who have made a name for themselves in international trade, artists, youth and community representatives. The three-day program will discuss issues including peace, climate change, development, internal welfare and social justice. Program coordinator Shekhar Gautam said that the program will also include youth, women, indigenous communities and marginalized voices focused on local governance. The program will also feature cultural exhibitions, music, and artistic expression sessions.
