On the auspicious occasion of Abhidhamma Day, I am honoured to share this special message from Ven. Borelle Seeladassana of the Sihanada International Meditation Community, Sri Lanka, expressing appreciation for Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s leadership and the Government of India’s efforts to preserve and promote Buddhism across the world.
The message highlights India’s initiatives in strengthening the global Buddhist community through spiritual diplomacy, the sharing of sacred relics, and the preservation and promotion of our rich Buddhist heritage. It also celebrates the deep civilisational and spiritual bonds between India and Sri Lanka, united by the timeless wisdom of Buddha Dhamma.
My heartfelt gratitude to PM Shri @narendramodi ji for his visionary leadership and his guiding mantra of “Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas” which inspires India’s commitment to fostering mutual respect, cultural understanding and stronger spiritual ties with the global Buddhist community.
