A Mongolian delegation, which visited several  Buddhist pilgrim sites in India, has praised the country for promoting  peace through spiritualism which might help in combating ongoing conflicts and war in the world.

Headed by 7th Naro Banchen Rinpoche, head of Naro Banchen Trust and founder of Naropa Monastery, the delegation met with Indian Buddhist scholars and officials of the International Buddhist Confederation (IBC) in New Delhi, reports ANI.

The 40-member delegation is comprised of artists, journalists, businessmen, anthropologist, historian and others.

Naropa Rinpoche told ANI, “We have so many things to learn from India. It’s peaceful, calm and very tolerant to one another. These good qualities inspire us”.

He added, “Mongolians appreciate India’s ancient wisdom and India is a country where from ancient times people come to learn how to train a mind, how to analyse and how to train our mind from a logical perspective using concrete methodologies. And this is our inspiration. We take spiritual inspiration from our Indian brothers and sisters. This ancient Buddhist knowledge offers very comprehensive methodologies that can be used to solve the problems in current days humanity is facing, war and conflicts”.
