  Buddhist Religion
 

 The up surging violence and terror in the world has almost occupied each   and  very one’s peaceful mind and has forced the world towards a state of  pandemonium. The way shown by lord Buddha has been erased so far. Despite the state of prevailing disarray in the world, consolidated feelings of creating peace of mind among the people in the world, came within our mind.  

By keeping the feelings of maintaining peace, Nepal Bouddha Dharma Samrakshan Samiti and its Japanese counterpart organization Mandala 21^st Century jointly decided to initiate an ambitious project of constructing a grand Thanka (Patch Work). Thanka, the inscribed philosophies with the symbols, invocations, prayers and spiritual mantras, has been regarded as one of the best way of displaying the philosophies of Buddha.

We feel proud of completing this big campaign and sharing the philosophies of Buddha among all the people in the world.

The Thanka that measures 70x50 meter square in size has not only covered Buddha’s philosophies but also has connected every beings with the strong thread of fraternity. I hope this work will emphasize every one to move on along the way of peace. The peace message and reinforcement given by Guru the Dalai Lama added further towards the success.

All my dreams got real sense only after receiving the valuable supports and endowments of my friend Yashutada Katagiri. But for my friend’s support, I would have remained as an incomplete explorer. I extend my gratitude to him for his benediction. I would like to express my gratitude to Masaki Kitamura, without whom it would have been almost impossible for me to get connected to Yasutada Katagiri.

Lastly, I want to thank all the volunteers of sixteen nations who contributed their precious time in accomplishing the mission. Thank you!
