"The teachings of Lord Buddha can be a guide in today's times of uncertainty," he said.

"The principle of moderation, or the middle path, remains more relevant today than ever before. The Buddha's teachings, simple yet profound, encourage us to transcend our differences and embrace a universal bond of loving kindness," he said.

The UN's Economic and Social Council chamber resonated with the chants of monks and nuns in their ochre and white robes, and the invocation of the Buddha's blessings for global peace at the Commemoration of International Day of Vesak 2025, co-hosted by Thailand and Sri Lanka.
