In these troubled times when the world is experiencing rampant violence, and terrorism, humanity needs prayers and action for peace and non-violence.

The message of the Peace Walk, highlighting solidarity among peoples of different religions and faiths, embracing diversity, awakening the true human spirits of sharing and caring is a noble one.

I commend all the activists who are joining this Peace Walk, and I offer my humble gratitude to the Rev. Monk Krishna Man who has brought this message of universal peace from Nepal, our common home land and the birth place of the Prince of Peace, Lord Gautam Buddha.

In times of conflict and violence, like the present one, it is easy to fall prey to despair and to become very pessimistic about the world we live in. What is not easy is to stand up and do something about it. Thanks be to God that, here and there, clear voices of hope are heard proclaiming the gospel of Peace and Brotherhood. Monk Krishna Man is one of those voices. I consider it a privilege to know him and to give my support to his vision for a Peace Sanctuary. Such a place will be an oasis where people of different religious backgrounds may be refreshed by coming together to learn about and from each other. May his vision become reality.

How wonderful it is to know that a Buddhist Monk like you from Nepal, the very birthplace of Lord Buddha, has taken the lead in this noble endeavor. I deeply admire your blissful mission. The Interfaith Sanctuary that you plan to erect as a meeting place for all the world's major faiths, I am sure, will stand as a beacon of peace, compassion and tolerance for every single individual member of the global human society.

I would also like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to all your enthusiastic supporters in this admirable mission.
