According to the committee, Buddha’s teachings of wisdom, compassion, and enlightenment would be disseminated through traditional processions and festivals that would be planned in accordance with regional traditions. On Buddha Jayanti, devotees can see the stupa, take part in worship, and receive offerings when they visit Boudha.
The goal, according to religious leader Bhupati Bajra Lama, is to use the Tamang Welfare Guthi and other organizations to deliver a single message of peace from the holy site of Boudhanath. The Guthi has long used its power to encourage tourism and religious worship, he continued. Lama called for a worldwide celebration of this humanitarian and peace-making journey under the theme “My Birth Is for Others.”
