Benediction
His Holiness
On the Birth Centenary of Her Royal Highness
The International Tipiṭaka Hall, Chulalongkorn University May I evoke the Supreme Buddha's blessings upon Her Royal Highness, Princess Galyani Vadhana Krom Luang Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra, the most serene virtuous Lady who presides over the Special Dhamma Lecture -- "the Tipiṭaka and Vipassanā Meditation", on the occasion of the Birth Centenary of H.R.H. Somdech Phra Srinagarindra Boromarajajonani by Mr. S. N. Goenka, Chairman of the Vipassanā Research Institute, India, upon the invitation of Major Suradhaj Bunnag, Chancellor of the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the Supreme Patronage of Thailand. This is the occasion to honor the late H.R.H. the Princess Mother who truly studied and practiced the teaching of the Supreme Buddha. Her serene smile, radiant eyes and liveliness, reflecting the absence of sadness, are conspicuous to almost everyone. It is as if she had never been bothered by sufferings. It makes the people appreciative of her attainment of Dhamma. H.R.H. is the witness and advocate of the results of the correct practice of the Supreme Buddha's teaching which guides our steps away from sufferings of all degrees. We hope that today's Dhamma Lecture of Mr. Goenka enhance the advancement of proper Dhamma practice. On behalf of the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma Society Fund under the patronage of the Supreme Patronage of Thailand, I wholeheartedly appreciate Mr. Goenka, for his noble task to uphold the Buddhasasanā by his wisdom throughout the past years.
For H.R.H. Princess Galyani Vadhana, the benefactor of the Dhamma Lecturer par excellence, I extend to her my best wishes for her happiness and well-being.
