Buddhist leaders exchange greetings with CA
A delegation of Buddhist religious leaders on Sunday exchanged greetings with Chief Adviser Professor Dr Muhammad Yunus on the occasion of 'Probarona Purnima', a religious festival of the community to be celebrated today.
They exchanged greetings with the Chief Adviser at the State Guest House Jamuna in the capital.
On the occasion, the Buddhist leaders described the significance of 'Probarona Purnima' and invited Dr Yunus to visit their 'Vihara' (monastery). They specifically expressed their gratitude to the Chief Adviser for allocating land for the cremation of Buddhists at Uttara in the city, reports BSS.
The Buddhist leaders said, "After informing the interim government about the matter, the land for the cremation ground was allocated within 10 days. This is unique in history."
Earlier, if a Buddhist person died in Dhaka, they had to travel a long way to Chittagong for the funeral rites, they said, adding, "Now, there is a place after death (in the capital)."
