[Edited extract of public address]
The Parliament of the World’s Religions stands in awe over the collaborations of faith communities in helping the people of Nepal. Our prayers are with the nation now and always.
In the aftermath of the devastating 25 April 2015, 7.8 magnitude earthquake in Nepal, faith communities are stepping up to coordinate relief efforts. Stories emerging in the early days of recovery illustrate the possibility of human compassion on a mass scale.
The Venerable Renchen, representative of the Buddhist community, and Manohar Prasad Sah of the Hindu community said: ‘We are doing our best, and when religions come together they can meet the basic needs of the people. Solidarity, peace and charity are concepts shared by all.
