Dr. Michael Nobel's Endorsement
at the Dhammakaya Meditation Hall
on 10th October 2008
Your holiness, your Excellencies, distinguished guests, dear friends, ladies and gentlemen.
I am very honoured and grateful for the opportunity to meet all of you happy smiling people here today and to have the chance to speak about peace and conflict resolution, a subject dear to my heart.
I would like to begin by warmly thanking those individuals who have offered me this opportunity: first, of course, his holiness Luang Por Dhamma-jayo to whom I am greatly indebted. A very special thanks to Mr. Song Watcharasriroj for the outstanding generosity he has shown me and for having had the kindness to obtain an audience with his holiness and introduce me to the centre’s activities and philosophy. I would also like to warmly thank Mum Luang Rajadasri for her kindness and friendship.
