We extend our deepest condolences to the Royal Family and the people of the Kingdom of Thailand on the passing of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendiradebyavati.

Her Royal Highness’s dedicated service to the nation, especially her efforts to advance justice, human dignity, and the welfare of women, will remain a lasting inspiration.

At this time of sorrow, we are reminded of the Buddha’s timeless teaching:

“Sabbe Saṅkhārā Aniccā”
“All conditioned things are impermanent.”

May Her Royal Highness rest in peace. May the Royal Family and the people of Thailand find strength, comfort, and solace in her noble legacy.

मंगल आशिष छ हाम्रा सबै प्यारा विद्यार्थी, Teachers तथा Volunteers हरुलाई!
आफ्नै अभिभावक संस्था, अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय बौद्ध समाजद्वारा लुम्बिनीमा बुद्ध जयन्तीको पावन अवसरमा सञ्चालित ऐतिहासिक जिल्ला स्तरीय हाजिरी जवाफ प्रतियोगितामा लगातार तीन वर्षसम्म प्रथम स्थान प्राप्त गरी 'भगवानको बालरूपी सिल्ड' स्थायी रूपमा प्राप्त गरेकोमा सबैलाई हार्दिक बधाई।

बौद्ध विषयको निरन्तर अध्ययन बिना यो सफलता सम्भव थिएन। वास्तवमा लोकका शास्ता भगवान बुद्धका शिक्षा र वाणीहरू नै उहाँले छोडेर जानुभएको 'धम्म-दायाद' हो, र यो नै हाम्रा बालबालिकाको वास्तविक उत्तराधिकार हो। लुम्बिनी-कपिलवस्तु बुद्ध भूमिका हरेक बच्चाको अधिकार हो— भगवान बुद्धका वचन र विचारहरूलाई जान्नु र बुझ्नु। यो जित केवल एउटा पुरस्कार मात्र होइन; कुनै पनि लौकिक उपलब्धि भन्दा यसले हाम्रो शिक्षाको नीतिगत र संस्कारगत महत्वलाई अझ बढी प्रष्ट पारेको छ।

केही वर्ष अगाडिको कुरा हो, श्रीलंकाका एकजना श्रद्धेय नायक भन्तेज्यू आफ्ना सहयोगी भन्तेसँग खोज्दै हाम्रो 'शान्ति-कुञ्ज' आउनुभयो। वयोवृद्ध महास्थवीर भदन्तको अकस्मात आगमनले हामी कृतार्थ भयौं। उहाँले सुनाउनुभयो— "आज बिहान मायादेवी मन्दिरबाट फर्किँदा केही बच्चाहरू विद्यालय जाँदै थिए, उनीहरूले भिक्षुलाई देखेर श्रद्धापूर्वक वन्दना गरे।" स-साना बच्चाहरूले चीवरधारी भिक्षुहरूलाई गरेको त्यो संस्कार र श्रद्धा देखेर उहाँ अत्यन्त खुसी हुनुभएछ। लुम्बिनी श्रीलंका विहारका भन्तेमार्फत ती बच्चाहरू 'मेत्ता स्कुल'का हुन् भन्ने थाहा पाएपछि उहाँ विशेषगरी हामीलाई भेट्न आउनुभएको रहेछ।

धेरै समयदेखि भारत र नेपाल आउने-जाने गरे पनि यस्तो संस्कार पहिलो पटक देखेको भन्दै उहाँले आशीर्वाद प्रदान गर्नुभयो। त्यस सानो भेटले मनमा एउटा सन्तोष दियो— जीवनका कलिला वसन्तहरू विद्यालय निर्माणमा खर्च गरेर राम्रै गरिएछ। आध्यात्मिक मूल्य र सिद्धान्तमा आधारित शिक्षा प्रणाली कति आवश्यक रहेछ भन्ने कुरा त्यसैबेला महसुस भएको थियो।

अति कार्यव्यस्तताले गर्दा अचेल विद्यालयमा धेरै समय बिताउन पाउँदिनँ, तर मेरो मन सधैं तिनै बच्चाहरूसँगै हुन्छ। सबैलाई पुन: बधाई तथा मङ्गलमय शुभकामना!

It was a great pleasure to join the auspicious Buddha Jayanti celebration in Calgary with dear Nepalese families. Deeply pleased to see the young ones remembering the Buddha and his teachings, and performing a beautiful play on his life.

Blessings to everyone on this sacred Vesak Week. May all the children receive the blessings of the Buddha and grow with wisdom, compassion, and a peaceful life ahead.
