Kathmandu- May 4 :
On the auspicious occasion of Buddha Jayanti, Buddhist organizations of all schools, including Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana organized a grand prayer in front of the Baudha Stupa for the victims of April 25 earthquake that killed more than seven thousand people and still counting. Keeping in view the fact that the whole country is mourning and so much damage is caused to life, our heritage and villages, we changed the annual Buddha Jayanti celebration to a prayer meeting.
Many monks, Bikshus, nuns and lay people joined the prayer. We pray that the teachings of Buddha, of impermanence and compassion give our nation courage to face this natural calamity and ones again, may we rise up like a phoenix from the ashes so that we can walk on the path shown by Buddha for peace, non violence and prosperity.
