Vesak Day _________________ Press Statement Mike Pompeo
As Buddhist communities
everywhere celebrate the life and teachings of Siddhartha Gautama, we pause
to reflect on and honor the universal values of peace, tolerance and
compassion the founder of Buddhism embodied. The United States is
proud to host a vibrant and diverse Buddhist community, as it joins Buddhists
around the world in celebrating Vesak Day. Buddhism’s spiritual and cultural
contributions have enriched our shared human heritage over more than two
millennia. We wish you all a
joyous and peaceful Vesak. |
