Speaking at a spiritual session he exhorted the religious leaders to usher in an era of peace, prosperity brotherhood and happiness amongst all the nations, religions and communities. He said that the teachings of Lord Buddha were as relevant today as at the time of King Ashoka.

Without naming any religion or community he made clarion call to all religious and spiritual leaders of the world to join together against violence and killing of the innocent persons and usher in a new era of mutual love and brotherhood.

He lamented that many countries had assembled weapons of self-destruction and stressed that relentless efforts should be made by all right-minded persons that these weapons of destruction do not pass on to the hands of perverted persons. He descried the killings of humans or animals. The lasting peace was possible only if we love each other and all living beings.
