To witness the practices of Buddhism and the Buddhist heritage of the world under one roof is a rare phenomenon, and that, too, at the sacred site of the Sri Dalada Maligawa. As we understand, all countries where Buddhism is or was prevalent have rallied round Sri Dalada Maligawa. As we understand, all countries where Buddhism is or was relevant have rallied round Sri Dalada Maligawa authorities to establish the Museum of world Buddhism. We bless them all.

His Excellency Mahinda Rajapaksha, the He president of Sri Lanka, Diyawadana Nilame of the Sri Dalada Maligawa the philanthropic institutions and individuals, project planners and expertise, technologists and helpers, all need to be blessed for the respective services he rendered collectively to achieve success in this meritorious and noble exercise.
