A Buddhist Leader visits Sawan Ashram

A Pictorial Report

On Sunday Afternoon, 7th October, 1973, the Master Kirpal Singh and His disciples at Sawan Ashram welcomed with great honour the Most Rev. G.N. Chidatsu Fuji of Tokyo, President of the Japan Budh Dharma. The venerable bhikshu, accompanied by an entourage of his disciples beating on drums, arrived at the Ashram at 4 p.m. and was greeted and garlanded by the Master.

They spoke together through interpreters for over an hour in the Master’s reception room, discussing among other things the forthcoming Unity of Man Conference to be held in February. Then the monks led all present in a Buddhist prayer, following which Rev. Mr. Chidatsu gave a short discourse in Japanese, which was translated into Hindi by the interpreter. Following the conference, a delicious meal was served the honoured guests in the dining room.
