Bhikkhu Sanghasena, Founder and Spiritual Director of the Mahabodhi International Meditation Centre (MIMC) Leh-Ladakh, graced the sacred celebrations of the 2569th Buddha Purnima and ceremonial inauguration of the Holy Relic Exposition.
The occasion was specially graced by Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah, whose participation brought national prominence to the spiritually significant gathering. Joined by several international dignitaries, including ambassadors from Sri Lanka and Thailand, as well as senior administrative officials and political leaders, the event emerged as a remarkable confluence of spirituality and statesmanship.
The event unfolded in an atmosphere of deep devotion, marked by sacred rituals, resonant prayers, and an overwhelming sense of collective reverence.
On the occasion, Ven. Bhikkhu Sanghasena had the honour of felicitating Amit Shah with a traditional Khatak.
As the sacred relics of the Buddha were unveiled for public exposition, devotees, monks, and visitors were drawn into a rare and intimate connection with the timeless teachings of enlightenment. For Ven. Bhikkhu Sanghasena, this occasion was not merely ceremonial—it was a reaffirmation of his lifelong mission to nurture a more compassionate and awakened society.
