United Nations Secretary General send his warmest greetings to the Buddhists all over the world on the Holy Vesak Day, when we honor the birth, enlightenment and passing of Lord Buddha. All of us, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, can find inspiration in the Buddha’s message of honesty, compassion and respect for all living things. As we face the lasting impact of the  COVID19 pandemic, it is clearer than ever that humility and deep empathy are essential to our wellbeing and that of our planet. On this Day of Vesak, let’s resolve to build lives of peace and dignity for all on a healthy planet.

With Best regards,

Antonio Guterres
Secretary General of United Nations (UN).
