Gujarat to organize International Buddhist summit in January

Vadodara, DeshGujarat, 16 October, 2009
The government of Gujarat will organize an international conference on Buddhism during 15 to 17th of January, 2010. The conference will be hosted by Vadodara’s M.S.University.
The state government has formed a core committee under leadership of Tourism and Cultural ministers to organize and coordinate the conference. The committee on Thursday convened a meeting in Vadodara where both the ministers also were present to review the progress of preparations.
“We are in process to contact consulates of 15 countries where Buddhism is practiced. So far we have contacted about 600 renown Buddhist scholars internationally. We have received 350 confirmations. Lord Swaraj Paul and Lord Bhikhu parekh are helping hands in this cause. At least five books will be published on relevant subject before the conference,” said Dr. Krishnan, who is working at Archaeological department of M.S. University.
It should be mentioned here that Gujarat possesses some of the very important archaeological sites related to Buddhism.

Very nice.. This is in the true spirit of Hinduism. If and when Hindus hold light of love (bhakti) then they have nothing to fear from the capitalism/socialism darkness.

@ rakesh
Why are you trying to see Hinduism differently from Buddhism? perhaps you don’t know that Bhagwan Buddh is revered as one of the avatar of Bhagwan Vishnu.
As per Hindutva, Sarva Dharma Sveekaar.
Please, Don’t fall into the name game trap.
mr uttam, dont go by your emotions. learn to respect and understand the different religions and its origin.
the reason jainism and budhism flourished in india was because they opposed vedic religion. the caste system. The caste system is the “kalank” on our hindu philosophy which is still prevailing in india.
Tell me would you allow your daughter to do a love marriage to a “low-caste”?
also you need to know and understand the religions. the whole of world knows buddhas real name. its is your perceived ignorance that people are ignorant. i have worked with buddhist around the world. i worked with a buddhist software developer in new york and he knew about buddhism and buddhas real name. Hindu religion teaches about karma. if its in your karma nobody can do anything. still we have jyotish in india and black magic who would change your fortunes. same way some poor ignorant buddhist in cambodia may not know who buddha was just like we have people on our side also.
