The beginning of
Dhammayatra Bodhigaya
From the belief in the power of the Buddha and the great faith in the Triple Gem, we have joined together to organize the Dhammayatra Bodhgaya project, believing that every land we visit is like a home with the same father, the Lord Buddha, and the same mother, the Mekong River, because we were born in the same place.
Reverend Professor Dr. Phra Maha Phong Samalik The former chairman of the Buddhist Organization Center, Lao Relations, has given his final policy as an advisor of Bodhgaya 980 Institute before he passed away at the age of 100 to Dr. Supachai Viraphuchong, Secretary-General of Bodhgaya Institute, to continue working in the direction of “Buddhism Turning Suvarnabhumi”, which is to support and spread the Buddhist teachings and create friendship among Buddhists throughout the Mekong Basin, or another name is Suvarnabhumi, to support the use of Buddhism to turn the unrest situation into peace, find a common standpoint to help turn humanity from wrong views to right views, and find cooperation to solve the problems that arise in our region with the teachings of the Lord Buddha. Currently, there are monks, disciples of the Lord Buddha, leading male and female lay devotees to jointly continue Buddhism in accordance with the Lord Buddha’s wish. This is the origin of the Dhammayatra Bodhigaya project.
