Guntur, January 4, 2006Buddhist leader Dalai Lama said that the teachings of the Gautama Buddha and Nargarjuna are relevant to the modern world and every person has a message from their teachings. Speaking at the official inauguration of the Kalachakra 2006 initiation ceremony held on Wednesday, he said that he was honored to conduct the initiation ceremony on the sacred soil of Amaravathi.
The Dalai Lama expressed his gratitude to the State Government for all the arrangements made for the conduct of the programme and said he was impressed by the initiative taken by the officials. He said that India produced great gurus like Buddha and Nargarjuna and Indians were keen students in the olden days. He said that the trend changed as Tibetans have become well versed with teachings while Indians have slowly started forgetting the great teachings. Thousands of Buddhists were present at the Kalachakra Kala Vedika, an open air auditorium built for the event to have glimpse of their spiritual leader. Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Minister, S.Jaipal Reddy said that Buddha was the greatest Indian of the ancient world while Dalai Lama was the most respected Buddhist monk in today's world.
