Annual Interfaith Friendship Walk 2024 in Oxford

On the 27th June 2024, under the guidance of Rev Wadigala Samitharathana, members of the Oxford Buddhist Society took part in the Annual Interfaith Friendship Walk, organised by the Oxford Council of Faiths. The walk itself showcased the spirit of unity and solidarity among various faith communities in Oxford. In view of recent global events, the event fostered harmony and conversation among the different faiths to send a powerful message of strength, peace, and mutual respect when in unity.

Since Rev Wadigala Samitharathana was attending a Monastic Retreat in Washington, DC during the time, Mr Amalka Hewa Naimanage, who represented the Oxford Buddhist Society, delivered a short speech to the community at the Radcliffe Square, University of Oxford - out of loving-kindness and compassion.
