Over 500 monks from 12 countries have gathered in Lumbini, Nepal, for the 4th International Tripitaka Chanting Ceremony (March 5-8). Held at Maya Devi Temple, the event promotes peace and spiritual significance. A grand procession, featuring a Buddha statue and Tripitaka, marked the opening. Organized by the All Nepal Bhikkhu Federation, monks chant the Sutta Pitaka, Vinaya Pitaka, and Abhidhamma Pitaka daily (8:30 AM - 5 PM). The Tripitaka, compiled in the 2nd century BCE, preserves Buddha’s teachings. The event fosters global Buddhist unity.
