DEDICATION
Homage to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha!
Here under the sacred Bodhi Tree, where Bhagavan Buddha Shakyamuni brought the blessings of Enlightenment into our world, the Mahasangha from nine countries has assembled once again to chant the Tipitaka. The teachings we commemo-rate here were spoken to the Sangha at various places in India. They were affirmed by five hundred Arhats who assembled at the Saptaparni Cave in Rajgir a year after the Blessed One passed into Parinirvana at Kushinagara. Led by Mahakassapa, Ananda, and Upali, the noble Arhats, empowered with full re-call of all they had heard, recited the teachings and confirmed them as the true words of the Tathagata.
Since this first great council, the Sangha has kept alive the memory of the Buddha’s presence and faithfully transmitted the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path in all directions. From their dedication, four major traditions took form and gave rise to eighteen schools. While they emphasized different aspects of the teachings, all relied on the Three Jewels as the
only refuge from the ever-present miseries of Sarvam Dukkham.
Transcending discrimination based on caste and culture, the teachings won the support of the Chakravartin King Ashoka, who recognized the importance of the Dharma and sponsored its transmission throughout his vast empire and beyond, to Sri Lanka and Myanmar, to Kashmir, to lands beyond the Indus, and to Kashgar and Khotan. Through acts of faith and through edicts and inscriptions, Ashoka encouraged people of all re-gions to awaken faith in the Buddha, cultivate virtue, and practice the Eightfold Path.
For centuries, even as empires flourished and passed away, the Dharma continued to unfold its blessings in land after land. In China, Tibet, and Mongolia; in Korea and Japan, and in all parts of Southeast Asia, the grace and balance inspired by vir-tuous action manifested in the shapes of temples and stupas, in images of the Enlightened Ones, and in depictions of the Bud-dha’s great actions in this and previous lives. Through the de-votion and dedication of countless great beings that transmit-ted the Dharma across the earth, this Aryadesha is renowned as the spiritual heart of our world. To this day, the pulse of enlightenment still beats within this sacred ground.
We are fortunate that of all the early Dharma traditions, the living lineages of two schools remain: Sarvastivadin, within the Vinaya of the Mahayana traditions, and Theravadin, vital to-day in the Sanghas of Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, India, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam. It has long been my dream that these streams of Sangha would return to Bodh Gaya after an absence of seven hundred years, to bear witness to the Buddha’s message of harmony and peace.
Since 2006, the Light of Buddhadharma Foundation International has acted as the primary sponsor of this gathering of the Theravadin Sanghas. Now, in our 10th anniversary, we congratulate all the great Venerable masters and their lay devotees for their exemplary commitment to spreading the Dharma teachings to many parts of the world. We are also grateful to the Bodhgaya Temple Management Committee and the Government of Bihar for their gracious assistance in facilitating this auspicious gathering. These ceremonies are a great symbol of World Peace and help to free us from the bondage of karma and klesha.
In this chaotic, materialistic world, ruled by self-interest and greed, people everywhere can benefit from prayers that wish
all beings freedom from suffering and freedom from thoughts and actions that lead to suffering for self and others. Joined to-gether in this most sacred place, the voices of many cultures can resound as one, reciting Lord Buddha’s words that support health and tranquility, easing the force of desire and aggression and promoting harmony and balance in these stressful times of rapid change. Everywhere, people who become disheartened or disillusioned can look for inspiration to the Bodhi Tree and the Mahabodhi Temple, our shining stars that illuminate the way to peace and harmony.
It is our great good fortune that we, as humble laypersons, have been granted the honor of supporting these historic assemblies. They manifest the blessings of the Dharma and fill us with hope that the merit generated here will encourage the awakening of more enlightened beings for the benefit of the earth, the environment, and people everywhere. In these turbulent times, they remind us that there is no need to continue wandering, lost in this samsaric realm. Help is close at hand; the teachings that can awaken us are still here, and we who understand their value must not let them pass away. It is our duty to support the Sangha and keep these teachings alive through our practice and devotion. We pray that we may continue to support these ceremonies as they carry significant blessings for the world.
I am grateful to the leaders of the Sangha for allowing me this opportunity to commemorate the Lord Buddha and honor the beauty of his heritage. I thank my daughter Wangmo, who has coordinated these assemblies over the last nine years. May the offering of this year’s printed volume of the Anguttara Nikaya be received with the great wish that these precious teachings continue to be recited by the Mahasangha for the benefit of all beings.
