as
the current generation was more privilaged due to educational
advancement, economic upliftment, modernisation, globalisation and
access to new technologies and many people have reached senior positions
in various fields like academies, bussiness, corporate, government etc.
Hence it was the right time for Dhamma revolution in this country,
where they wanted to spend time to understand, practice, experience
& share Dhamma that will help to build moral society.
The idea behind this conference was to connect “Like Minded People” across nation
that could help in organise similar events in Major Cities, Districts,
Talukas and even small towns thereby to encourage new generation to
come forward
and participate in this movement. They encourage people to put down
their thoughts and ideas by writing papers for this conference. The
eminent personalities who have worked extensively for society were part
of this conference. Various groups which have shown interest for this
conference were also included. Thus the focus was long term in nature.
Some
of the internationally known eminent personalities, scholars and
authors were invited to facilitate the conference encouraged the
exchange of thoughts & artifacts about teaching of Buddha on Loving
Kindness.
The
Panel discussion session arranged in the conference definitely infused
the concrete exchange of thoughts between Upasakas (audience) and the
experts working for spreading Buddhism.
This
national conference was conducted under the guidance of Venerable
Monks, eminent scholars following Buddha’s teaching and
Upasakas/Upasikas.
