As part of the ongoing Buddha Poornima Celebrations, the evening proceedings began with an intellectual talk by the Chief Monk, Lopon Phurpa Sherpa who drew parallels from the Buddhist teachings and our Bhagawan’s teachings viz. Peace & Non-Violence. The chief monk emphasised that the world would be a better place to live in if we followed Bhagawan’s dictums “Love All – Serve All” & “Help Ever – Hurt Never”.
The devotees from Zone 4 and Zone 5, Sri Sathya Sai Global Council then presented a cultural presentation in the form of Ethnic Dances playing their traditional instruments.
