The Conference aimed at preservation, promotion and continuity of Buddhist religion and culture in the countries practicing Buddhism is scheduled to last till Sept. 10.
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.
During the Conference, various foreign and Nepalese participants will be presenting some 30 working papers on subjects such as status and challenges of Buddhism in Nepal, Buddhist tradition and world peace.
