“It is an honour to be here in Lumbini – a site of spirituality, serenity, and peace. And I am deeply moved to have been invited, to be here and to pay tribute to Lord Buddha. This is a place to reflect on the teachings of Lord Buddha and to consider what his message of peace, interdependence, and compassion, means in today’s troubled world. Humanity is at war with nature and at war with itself. In the Middle East, Ukraine, the Sahel, Sudan and many other places around the world, conflict is raging.
