Varanasi hosts all-religion meet

     Varanasi: Buddhist monks and other religious leaders from all across the country gathered here for an all-faith meeting. The one-day conference on Sunday mainly deliberated on the similarities between Buddhist and Vedic cultures. "The Buddhist and the Vedic are from the same culture. These two traditions have a lot of similarities as far as the religious and cultural aspects are concerned. If we see from the philosophical point also they complement each other from time immemorial," said Romonov, a Buddhist philosopher. Tibetan scholar, Tenzin said that he hoped the conference would spread the message of goodness across the world. "The conference will spread the message of goodness across the world. This will further strengthen the relations between Tibet and India," said Tenzin. Tibetans recently celebrated a 'Thank You' festival aimed at showing their appreciation towards the Indian Government and people for providing them shelter since their flight to India in 1959.
