I have no doubt the sacred relics and the statue of the load Buddha
which I have gifted to the Agon-shu Buddhist organization will strengthen the
relations
between Japanese and Sri Lankan Buddhist and greatly enrich the
traditional
ties which already bind them.
On this histric occasion when
these relics and statue of the compassionate
one are being enshrined in the
newly contructed Buddhist temple in Kyoto by
the Agon-shu buddhist
organisation,May there be peace and harmony among the
peaples of Japan and
Sri Lanka and all the countries of the world.
