The conference began on September 23 with peace prayers by the priests and leaders of different faiths including Hindus, Buddhists, Islam, Christians, Bahai and Jews.

“We always say that Buddha was born in Nepal, but to really prove it, we need to organize these sorts of programmes”, Dr. Chinta Mani Yogi, Founder Principal of Hindu Vidyapeeeth Nepal said while addressing the inaugural session of the conference.

Dr. Nina Meyerholf, Founder President of Children of the Earth, the co-organiser of the conference expressed her wish to organize similar programmes in the future too.

The programme will end on September 28.
