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.
