Jai Sai Ram.

Very happy to read the article. When I read about

Budhdhism, I realize that my thinking and way of

considering other people's treatment is very much in

co-ordinance with Budhdhism.

I don't know much about any religion in details and

still I think that my religion is to love, respect and

help others. Such a simple is my RELIGION! And ALL

religions say the same thing. I have respect for all

religions.

I will pass on this Nepal information to my family

and friends so they also will know about good

activites.

Jai Sai Ram
