On June 14 this year, Buddhists celebrate the birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni. This is one of the main holidays in the Buddhist calendar, which falls on the 15th lunar day of the holy month Ur Sar.I believe that good times will come, but now it is important to preserve love and compassion. Let's sow the seeds of goodness and accumulate good karma by giving up lies.
With all my heart I wish you all good health, well-being and success! May the life and deeds of Shakyamuni Buddha be an example for us. May love and compassion for all living beings forever settle in our hearts. Please accept my sincere wishes for happiness, peace and prosperity!”
Editor’s note: In Elista, the main events will be held in the central khurul "Golden Abode of Buddha Shakyamuni". This is the largest temple in Europe, with the largest Buddha statue and the world's only sculptural composition of 17 pandita scholars from the ancient Indian University of Nalanda. Built in 2005 with the blessing of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama at the personal expense of Kirsan Ilyumzhinov and public donations, the khurul has become Elista's hallmark.
