The Venerable Somdej Phra Buddhacharaya, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:
It is my great honor to be invited to such memorable event; as we all know, the Venerable have attained remarkable accomplishments on missionary works(弘法) as well as promoting Dharma, His
Holiness had demonstrated a positive model to future generation on how should a committed Buddhist should behave. Frankly speaking, his Holiness’s commitment was an encouragement to me.
On top of that, I would like to send my gratitude to the Venerable for the willingness to officiate one of the largest Stupa in Malaysia in the year 2007. As a result of his Holiness’s blessing, the construction of the Stupa will comes into completion in another few month’s times, we welcome everyone to witness together such historic moment(歷 史性) in our inaugurate ceremony(舍利塔開幕大典).
Dharma promoting is a lifetime duty of a Buddhist, compassion(慈 悲), conscience(良心), and commitment is the key characteristic of talented people. We believe in order to have more people to contribute for Buddhism; a proper atmosphere is the key. Therefore, it inspire me to develop an environment where people get to understand Triyana(三乘) teachings(教法), that is Theravada, Mahayana, and Tantrayana.
Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my good wishes to the Venerable Somdej Phra Buddhacharaya being health, auspicious(吉祥) and joyful.
