Nepal Association of Tour and Travel
Agents (NATTA) is organising a webinar on 10 January
2020 on Nepal's Buddhist sites with the motto of ‘Following the Footsteps of the
Buddha for Universal Peace and Prosperity.’
The webinar aims to showcase and publicise
important Buddhist sites and Nepal's Buddhist tourism on the global platform,
it said in a statement on Thursday.
Four important high-level Buddhist monks
and scholars are scheduled to speak on the philosophical aspect of the Buddha’s
teachings where Ajahn Burin Thitakusalo of the United States of America will
discuss on ‘Lumbini the Fountain of World Peace’ and Jaffrey Kotyk of Canada
will deliver speech on ‘Medieval Chinese Interactions with Nepal’.
Likewise, Mattia Salvini from Italy will
present on ‘Nepal and Sanskrit Buddhism Revisiting in the Present day Context’
and Matthieu Ricard of France will talk on ‘The Sacred Places and Art as a Way
to Cultivate Pure Perception’.
“With more than 53 years of experience in
tours and travel, NATTA has successfully pooled together professional travel
and tour operators and agents under one roof. The purpose is to guide and lead
private enterprises within the tourism sector to collectively strengthen and
promote Nepal as a top holiday destination in the global tourism map,” it said.
