Congratulations from NCCK for the Day of Buddha´s Coming
I congratulate all Buddhists with joy for the Day of Buddha’s Birthday.
Buddha taught us the value of mercy and coexistence. But the current world is full of limitless consumption based on greed, competition, conflicts, and opposition. So it is very important, nowadays, to put love and mercy into action.
It is my hope many people will gain hope through Buddhists’ acts of mercy, and I strongly believe that our neighbors who are in trouble and need help will receive consolation and a new desire from Buddhists who are practicing the lessons of Buddha.
Standing here just before the Buddha’s Birthday, I have a great expectation that all denominations and religions come together in peace and put forward their efforts to make a better and more beautiful world.
Once again, I give my deepest congratulations to all Buddhists and hope that mercy and love spread all over this land on that day.
On Buddha’s Birthday, 2014
