About Us

His Holiness arrived at Bhopal airport in the early morning of November 25. After a warm reception He and His lamas and monks were taken to Karuna Buddh Vihar, a Buddhist temple at Tulsi Nagar in Bhopal, where numerous devotees from both India and Sri Lanka had gathered to pay their respects to His Holiness, offering Him flowers and garlands and prostrating at His feet. After a short puja and shared breakfast His Holiness gave an interview to ANI, South Asia's leading multimedia news agency with over 100 bureaus in India, South Asia and across the globe. When asked if there was any kind of advice He would like to give to His followers, He replied that He would advise them to cultivate wisdom and compassion, these two qualities being the very essence of the Buddha’s teaching The method of Buddha Shakyamuni is none other than cultivating wisdom, or prajna, and compassion, or karuna, because without cultivating these two, whatever other positive circumstances or opportunities we may have in our lives, it is always very confusing to get on with our lives. So with this method of cultivating these two qualities we find answers to all of our confusions, and therefore live a better life. So that, I think, is the very message of Buddha.”
