The 4th International Conference on Buddhist Heritage of Nepal Mandal 2005 kicked off Wednesday with the slogan of "Collaboration for the Preservation, Upliftment and Co-existence of Buddhist Heritage in Asia."

Inaugurating the Conference, Nepali Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Buddhi Raj Bajracharya stressed on the need to organize such conference in order to exchange ideas on Buddhism.
"The Buddhist religion and tradition having its own norms and values are deteriorating due to the lack of public awareness," Bajracharya said.
