When it comes to universal harmony, Mahatma Gandhi and Rosa Parks are viewed as international icons. Yet both of them were influenced by the timeless teachings of Lord Buddha who also inspired the Golden Age of Indian, Japanese and Chinese civilizations. Furthermore, Nalanda University is widely considered the foremost center of spiritual learning in Asian and world history. Among its many great scholars was Shantideva Acharya - whose "The Way of the Bodhisattva" is the all-time favorite book of Nobel Laureate Dalai Lama. In this rare session, Rev. Zenji Acharya will explain the most important teachings on universal harmony as taught by Lord Buddha in an unforgettable manner that will combine eloquent British motivational speaking with perennial wisdom in ancient Sanskrit to uphold an inspirational message that will empower all demographics. It will be accompanied by a rare exhibition to visually illustrate the inspirational themes to be presented -- courtesy of NAMAHA or North American Museum of Asian Heritage and Art (www.Namaha.ca).

Ven. Rev. Zenji Acharya has been hailed as the only Western self-help expert from the world's oldest Buddhist lineage that goes all the way back to Lord Buddha Himself as well as His closest disciples and authors of the most important scriptures that form the basis of all Buddhist sects and traditions. As a result, Ven. Rev. Zenji's temples have been declared Heritage Sites of National Importance by the Govt. of India and have been bestowed with the same official signage found at the holiest temples of Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Sarnath and Kusinagar that were frequented by Lord Buddha Himself.

Rev. Zenji is also launching a landmark Buddhist Museum and Research Center as well as the first international film on Lord Buddha to be shot all over the world. Furthermore, Rev. Acharya is writing the Buddhist Bible for the 2015 Pan Am Games which will highlight teachings from the most important sutras in an inspirational context for today's demographics.

Rev. Acharya's lectures at numerous universities, temples and charitable events have been praised by prominent national leaders in Canada as well as abroad. However, above all, Rev. Zenji prefers to simply introduce himself as "the lowest servant of the servants of the servants of Lord Buddha".
