To keep this practice, to have a driving force for spreading the Dharma, we find inspiration in you, our fellow Dharma Friends. Delegates from all around the world, representatives of Global Sangha, monastic and lay people, all forms of ours practices, share the same goal – to help. To help this World, our country, our city or village, our Sangha members and all sentient beings to be saved from suffering.
We are greatly thankful to organizers of UNDV annually events in Vietnam and Thailand for this opportunity to meet our Dharma friends and colleagues, to exchange inspiration and experiences for the sake of all humanity.
