Buddhist Monks requesting remove the iron fences under the Bodhi Tree


The Bodh Gaya Monasteries, Hotel associations, shopkeepers and the Monlam Foundations wrote a letter to the Temple Managment Committee because they are requesting remove the iron fences under the Bodhi Tree so Monlam prayers organised in very peacefully.
The Buddhist Monks asking about If they will not feel for our simple request, we will have to take greater action. They feel that they have created more damage by installing the new fences with iron and concrete than having people sitting peacefully and praying.
These fences will be in the Temple complex all year around, as opposed to people sitting and praying for a few weeks out of the year. The cement is more damaging than having people there.
The
Nangzey Dorjee, Secretary of the Temple Managment Committee. He is very positive about the idea of resolving this peacefully without taking more action.
