The world has witnessed unprecedented development in the field of technology and its associated fields. In this fast paced world, where social media occupies individuals’ space. Gone are the days where time used to stand still and we rejoiced in simplicity!
In my personal opinion, despite how far we progress in our lifestyles, we have sensory emotions that can easily be-fooled or get distracted in this overloaded information age.
In such catch 22 situations, a word of wisdom comes handy. It is double the joy especially when we can hear and watch live webcast in social media platform of this simple Buddhist monk- an apostle of peace; who is revered all around the world, not merely as manifestations of Avalokiteshvara- the Buddha of Compassion.
