Creating
a Compassionate and Vegetarian Global Village |
God's Message on Buddha's Birthday
By brother-initiate Ajay Shrestha, Kathmandu, Nepal (Originally in Nepalese)
May
13, Golden Year 3 (2006) was the day of Shakyamuni Buddha's 2550th birthday.
On that day initiates of the Kathmandu Center gathered to distribute the
Alternative Living flyers in Nepalese at "Shoyambhu Nath Temple”.
Thousands of people gather there every year on that day to celebrate Shakyamuni
Buddha's birthday. Upon receiving the flyers, the people were very much
impressed by the noble idea and its beautiful design, and thus requested
more information. The flyer was so attractive that it was suitable for
all age groups. With an endless number of people flowing in like a river,
this kept the initiates very busy distributing and explaining about being
vegetarian. In two short hours, all the flyers had been distributed. People
were very happy to receive God's message, and will remember it and this
day for a long time.
