The 8th World Buddhist Summit in Japan was a profoundly spiritual and enlightening gathering that brought together Buddhist leaders, scholars, and practitioners from across the globe. Hosted in a serene and culturally rich setting, this summit was a platform for the exchange of ideas, teachings, and insights rooted in the principles of Buddhism. We are glad that Bhante Buddharakkhita was one of the Supreme Buddhist Leaders at the Summit. Bhante was also appointed as the Vice President at World Buddhist Summit representing Africa.
