Dr. Michael Nobel's Endorsement
I have myself some experience and background in working for peace, I was born and raised in Sweden and lived most of my life in Switzerland, two countries who have not had a conflict with their neighbors for hundreds of years. My great grandfather’s brother, Alfred Nobel, created the Nobel Peace Prize, and I spent 12 years of my recent past as head of a non-violence project which succeeded in reaching out to over 2 million young people around the globe to teach them non-violent behavior through various programs in schools. I sit today on several boards of conflict resolution foundations trying to make young urban children adopt a non-violent lifestyle. Today, we are here on a very joyous occasion, the glorious event of the casting in solid gold of the statue of Phramongkholthepmuni.
Phramongkholthepmuni (Sodh Candasaro) dedicated his life in order to rediscover the wisdom of Dhammakaya, the key to the enlightenment of the Lord Buddha, for the benefit of Buddhists worldwide. He taught us how to practice bringing your mind to connect to the centre of your body to attain Dhammakaya, the body of enlightenment of all mankind. In order that these teachings may once again announce to the world that the peaceful state of the mind is the secret of success.
A hundred years from now people will ask why the image of Phramongkholthepmuni was cast in solid
