THE DAY OF VESAK – SECRETARY-GENERAL ANTONIO GUTERRES’ MESSAGE
Today, Buddhists across the globe celebrate Vesak Day, which marks the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha.
Last October, I had the privilege of travelling to the Buddha’s birthplace of Lumbini, Nepal. This deeply inspiring visit re-affirmed my conviction that the Buddha’s timeless teachings of peace, compassion and service to others are the pathway to a better, more understanding and harmonious world for all.
Today and every day, let us be guided by the spirit of Vesak and by a renewed faith in what we can accomplish as a united human family.
Let’s work as one to build a more peaceful and sustainable future.
Happy Vesak Day to you all.
