The venerable participants also shared their ideas and experiences to one another. It seemed like all the participants were in the same Dhamma Utthayan (Dhamma Park) and helped one another to plants the Buddhist trees (maybe the Kalapaphreuk tree as said Luang Phor Sudhiro).
Now, it is not a saying-goodbye moment, but it is time for us to start our propagation of Buddhism together.
Our tree of cooperation will grow up and yield its fruits to people around the world.
