न्यूयोर्क,  May  23, 2008-कस्तो संयोग ! न्युयोर्कमा रहेको संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघको मुख्यालय भित्र यसपाली पहिलो पटक नेपाल आयोजक रहेको शान्तिदूत गौतम बुद्धको जन्म जयन्ती "बुद्ध पूर्णिमा ( बेसाक)" पर्व मनाइ रहदा बाहिर संरासं प्राङ्गणमा भने नेपालको झन्डा फर्फराइ रहेको थियो। समारोहमा उपस्थित नेपाली मात्र होइन अन्य मुलुकका पाहुनाहरु पनि गर्बले छाती फुल्याए नेपालको लुम्बिनिमा जन्मेका बुद्धका शान्ति सन्देशलाई मनन गर्दै।



"बेसाक" पर्ब सन्‌ २००० देखी संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघको मुख्यालय न्युयोर्कमा बर्षेनी मनाइदै आएको छ।

यसै बिच, प्रधानमन्त्री गिरिजाप्रसाद कोईरालाले सो अवसरमा पठाउनु भएको सन्देशमा बुद्धको सारगर्भित सन्देश संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघको बडापत्रको भावनामासमेत प्रतिबिम्बित भएको कुरा बताउनु भएको छ।

संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघका लागि नेपालका स्थायी प्रतिनिधि तथा महामहिम राजदूत मधुरमण आचार्यले पढेर सुनाउनु भएको सो सन्देशमा प्रधानमन्त्री कोईरालाले लुम्बिनी बिकास गुरु योजना अनुसार बुद्धको पवित्र जन्मस्थललाई "विश्वशान्ति शहर" को रुपमा बिकास गर्ने काममा लुम्बिनी बिकास अन्तराष्ट्रीय समितिको समर्थन रहेकोमा सह्राहना व्यक्त गर्नु भयो। सो समितिमा बुद्ध धर्मावलम्वी जनसंख्या रहेका बिभिन्न मुलुकका सन्युक्त राष्ट्र संघकालागि न्युयोर्क स्थित स्थायी प्रतिनिधिहरु सदस्य रहने व्यवस्था रहेको छ।

सो कार्यक्रमको शुरुआत मन्चमा सजाईएको बुद्धको मुर्तिका बीच बत्तीबालेर संयुक्त राष्ट्र संघकालागि नेपालका स्थायी प्रतिनिधि मधुरमण आचार्यले गर्नु भएको थियो।

सो अवसरमा महासचिव बान कि मुनका प्रतिनिधि राष्ट्र संघीय सुचना विभागका उपमहासचिव कियोटाका आकासाकाले पनि मैनबत्ती बाल्नुका साथै महासचिवको मन्तव्य पढेर सुनाउनु भएको थियो।

महासचिव बान कि मुनको सन्देश मा भनिएको छ-

"The Day of Vesak is a joyous occasion marking the birth, enlightenment and passing of the Buddha. On this day millions of people, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike, take time to reflect on the life and teachings of the Buddha, and to receive guidance from them.

This year, the observance of Vesak falls at a time of profound and painful loss. Cyclone Nargis has devastated Myanmar, while a massive earthquake has ripped through Southwest China. Both natural disasters have resulted in untold suffering -- tens of thousands have died; many more have lost their families, homes and livelihoods.


In the shadow of these enormous tragedies, the Buddha's message of peace, compassion and love for all living beings brings added urgency. It tells us to open our hearts and embrace our fellow human beings, especially those in need. It asks us to recognize our essential oneness, and to place the well-being of our communities and of all humanity at par with our own.


These timeless teachings must guide the international community's response to the situation in Myanmar. They should also inspire our efforts to address the broader challenges confronting our world -- in peace and security, in development and in the protection of our environment. In each of these areas, we have to rise above our perceived narrow self-interests, and think and act as members of one global community. This is the path to enlightenment, and it is the foundation of a better world for all.

On this Day of Vesak, let us affirm our essential interdependence. Let us pledge to work together for the common good, and for the betterment of all humankind. I thank you for your commitment to these ideals, and wish you all an enriching celebration."

Secretary-General's message on Vesak Day 2008. Delivered by Kiyotaka Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information

कार्यक्रममा बंगलादेश, भुटान, कम्बोडिया, भारत, जापान, लाओस, मङ्गोलिया, श्रीलंकाका स्थायी प्रतिनिधिहरु र म्यान्मार , थाईल्याण्ड, र भियतनामका प्रतिनिधिहरुले बत्ती बाल्नुका साथै आफ्नो मन्तव्य समेत प्रस्तूत गर्नु भएको थियो।

सो अवसरमा नेपाल, थाइल्याण्ड, श्रीलंका, मङ्गोलिया र बंगलादेशका कलाकारहरुले साँस्कृतिक कार्यक्रम प्रस्तूत गरेका थिए।

नेपालको तर्फबाट न्युयोर्कमा रहेका शेर्पा तथ तामाङ्ग समुदायका व्यक्ति तथा संस्थाले समेत सकृय रुपमा भाग लिएका थिए।

कार्यक्रमको अन्त्यमा स्थायी प्रतिनिधि मधुरमण आचार्यले आयोजना गर्नु भएको जलपान कार्यक्रममा नेपाल लगायत विभिन्न मुलुकबाट तयार पारिएको खानाको परिकार राखिएको थियो।

कार्यक्रमको सन्चालन नयाँ नेपाल खबर पत्रिका कि सहायक सम्पादक संज्ञा सिंहले गरेकी थिईन्‌।
