During the official visit to Myanmar, the delegation of Kalmykia headed by Batu Khasikov visited the city of Mandalay, where they met with Ashin Nyanissar, the founder of the International Buddhist Academy Sitagu

«The monastic sangha of Myanmar has carefully preserved the Buddhist teaching in its original purity for centuries - as it was in the time of Buddha Shakyamuni himself. All directions of Buddhism are important to us. We strive to create conditions under which every Buddhist can feel at home in our republic»

- Batu Khasikov said

According to him, a Buddhist park is planned to be created in Elista, where religious objects of various traditions will be presented, including the ancient Theravada school. The park will become a place where everyone can find peace and harmony, studying the philosophy and practice of Buddhism.

The head of Kalmykia thanked Ashin Nyanissara for the warm welcome and invited him to the III International Buddhist Forum, which will be held in Elista in 2025.
