The Burkhan Bagshyn Magtaal Buddhist prayer opened the third day of the II International Buddhist Forum

On August 14, the Ivolginsky Datsan hosts the third day of the II International Buddhist Forum. The forum began with the hural "Burkhan Bagshyn Magtaal" dedicated to Buddha Shakyamuni and his first monastic community - 16 Arhats. After that, the forum participants adored the Incorruptible body of the XII Pandito Khambo Lama Dasha Dorji Etigelov.

"When we are near the incorruptible body, adoring it, we can feel the vibration and the positive energy from the Khambo Lama. That is why we are here to become imbued and feel the energy from the imperishable body. "It is very important that people all over the world, not only in Russia and not only those who profess Buddhism, can see, feel and recharge with this energy," Bhave Aashish, director of the International Center for Cultural Studies, shared his impressions.

The program of the Forum's final day includes the conference "Phenomenon of XII Pandito Khambo Lama Dashi-Dorji Etigilov", which includes a plenary session and discussion panels on the messages of the XII Pandito Khambo Lama. The conference will end with the adoption of a resolution.
