Sri Lanka is set to host an extraordinary gathering of spiritual devotees as One Buddha One World brings together 80 participants from Taiwan, China, India, Thailand, Bhutan, Vietnam, Laos, Bangladesh, Nepal, Singapore, and Indonesia. From 28th May to 3rd June, the group will journey through Sri Lanka’s revered Buddhist heritage sites, including Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya, Dambulla, and Kandy, immersing themselves in the island’s rich spiritual tapestry.
Spearheaded by Venerable Mugunuwela Anuruddha Thero, the Secretary General of the All-Island Buddha Sasana Council of Sri Lanka, the tour will reach its highlight on 31st May with the Inauguration Ceremony of One Buddha One World at the picturesque Aliya Resort & Spa. This special event will see an assembly of 300 Bhikkhus and laypersons, joining in a traditional dāna (almsgiving) ceremony, reflecting the enduring Buddhist traditions of compassion and unity.
