MILIND JIWANE
Chief Co-Ordinator of
Civil Rights Protection Cell.
First of all I am paying homage to the Lord Buddha and Bodhisatva Dr. Babasaheb
Ambedkar.
Honourable Buddha Bhikkus, Distinguished Chief Guests, respected Delegates, those who are
participated in this two days World Buddhist Meet here in Nagpur (Where Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar
has embraced Buddhism alongwith five lakhs followers in the year 1956) coming from different
Buddhist Countries and the delegates from different states of India and respected brothers and sisters.
This year is an important year for the Buddhist people in which we are celebrating 2550th
Mahaparinirwan din of Lord Buddha and Golden Jubilee celebration year of Dhamma Diksha Din. On
this auspicious year, the Civil Right Protection cell has organised two day world Buddhist conference
in this historical place of Nagpur. This day is the immemorial day for me that for the first time in my
life, I got an opportunity to preside over this world Buddhist conference.
I was thinking that I should do something for coordial and fraternal relations among the
people of the Buddhist countries and maintain peace in the world by spreading message of Lord
Buddha and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar by organising world Buddhist Conference, and I did the same,
hence this is the most auspicious day for me to have a dialogue with the world Buddhist scholers so
that we all may be able to chalk out an action plan in this conference to maintain coordial relations
among Buddhist Countries as well as other non Buddhist countries of world too.
season also. The Indian Government did not take initiative to build up the bridge on this Niranjana
river as they do not wish to develop the important places of Buddhism. But this year Govt. of India has
chalked out a plan to spread up the philosophy of Lord Buddha through out India during this year.
Conclusion :
My point is that, is it possible for us to maintain world peace in world, level? In this regard I
am of the opinion that, yes, it is possible for us.
1. Differences between traditional Buddhists and converted Buddhists should be abolished.
2. Buddhist people from all over world must be acquainted as Buddhist and not on the basis
of Various sects.
3. Buddhism is completed based on human values. Intellectual Buddhists should try to discuss
on human problems and try to settle in an amicable way.
4. Buddhist people should try to start missionary work for the welfare of the people.
5. Government policies should be based on the principle of Buddhism, hence it should be
recognised on political level, so that we may be able give any type of cooperation to the
people of Buddhists and Non-Buddhists too.
6. But how this will be implemented?. My opinion is that one strong organisation of Bud
dhist countries on world level should be established. and to follow this mutual co-opera
tion and co-ordial relations among Buddhists countries are essential. Let us hink & discuss
about coordial relations among Buddhists countries in this conference so that we may
be able to spread up the messsage of Lord Buddha on every corner of the world.
At the end, I thank you all and my sincere gratitude to you all that you have listen my view
and opinions very calmly and quitely. With these words I hereby conclude my presidential speech.
