On the sacred occasion of Saga Dawa, one of the holiest months in the Buddhist calendar, I extend my warmest greetings and best wishes to all.
This revered month marks the birth, enlightenment, and parinirvana of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni, and is a time of profound spiritual reflection and renewed commitment to the path of Dharma. It is a period to honour the timeless teachings of the Buddha—compassion, wisdom, and selfless service.
As we observe this holy month, let us reaffirm our dedication to these noble values. May our thoughts, words, and actions be rooted in kindness, generosity, and a sincere aspiration to benefit all sentient beings.
May Saga Dawa bring inner peace, spiritual strength, and collective harmony to all.
Tashi Delek and Happy Saga Dawa!
