Interreligious Meeting on Pray for the World Peace in Vatican

Ven. Ming Kuang (Chairperson of Standing Committee on Dhammaduta Activities of The WFB), Ven. Hsin Bau (Abbot of Fo Guang Shan Monastery), and Dr. Steven S.W. Huang (Vice-President of The WFB) participated in Interreligious Meeting on pray for the world peace in Vatican on 16 March B.E. 2566 (2023).  In recent years there were rapid changes of climate change, pandemic, and international conflicts.  Both of the Buddhist delegations and the Vatican believed that cultural encounters can build bridges that divide people and keep them prisoners of preconceptions, prejudices, or indifference.  It is believed that interreligious educational pilgrimages are a source of great enrichment and offer opportunities for people to learn from one another.

During the meeting Pope Francis invited the delegations to join in a three-minute silence prayer for world peace and for the perseverance to resolve international conflicts and highlighted the crucial role of religions in fostering fraternity by promoting cultural understanding.
