Earth Day Activities by Dhammakaya Foundation : หน้า 74/91

Earth Day Activities Each year the Dhammakaya Foundation and its centres sponsor and organize a number of Earth Day activities for people from all walks of life. These activities include tree planting, as well as training in various fields such as forest conservation, waste management, environmental protection, cleanliness and hygiene. As a spiritual organization, the Dhammakaya Foundation has focused to draw the attention of people all over the world to the importance of enhancing one's inner environment. At the 1996 General Conference of the World Fellowship of Buddhist Youth in Bangkok, the Dhammakaya Foundation has proposed the 22 April of each year be observed by all regional members by the environmental protection, moral & ethical education and meditation practice as the "Virtues to Protect the World" Earth Day Commemoration. The General Conference adopted the resolution under the theme Purify the World, Purify the Mind.
