From the airport, His Holiness left straight by motorcade to the World Trade Center theater, a venue for His Holiness’ address to business and industrial leaders of Brazil. As he entered theConvention Center of the World Trade Center on his way to the theater, he was greeted by a large number of cameramen. At the theater, he was received by Dr. Cristiane Bomeny, an industrialist and daughter of the family which owns World Trade Center in Sao Paulo, Dr. Ozires Silva, a Brazil’s pioneer industrialist, Mr. Fernando Levy, President of the Business Forum of Brazil, and Mr. Affif Domingos, Vice Governor of the State of Sao Paulo.

In his address to the Brazilian industrialists and business leaders, HisHoliness said that 20th century had witnessed too much bloodshed and millions of people had lost their lives. Therefore, he said, we cannot afford to repeat that history in the 21st century. This century, he said, must be a century of dialogue. He added that no matter how much we try, problems will still remain and will remain as a part of our life. However, he said, the important thing is that we must resolve these differences and problems through dialogue. The use of force and violence, he said, is outdated.

One of the sources of problems, he said, is a huge gap between rich and poor everywhere. Therefore, he said, the privileged people, particularly the business leaders, should shoulder more responsibility to help the poor by investing in the fields of education, health and other social sectors. He also said that natural resources are not infinite and therefore efforts must be made to have more sustainable growth with adequate attention being made to the ecology. He said that industrial and business leaders must be visionary so that every effort they make will ultimately benefit society.

Despite being late for him to depart, His Holiness spoke for nearly two hours at this important forum and also attended to questions from the audience. The audience members, who flew to Sao Paulo from various parts of Brazil, paid a great attention to his talk and listened to His Holiness’ talk very enthusiastically.

Later after the conclusion of the event, he offered scarf to Dr. Ozires Silva and Dr. Christiane Bomeny and thanked them for organizing the event.

Now we'll try the walking meditation. How to do it? Well, first you find a level track about 15 to 20 paces and walk back and forth noting the parts of the steps in the walking. Don't worry, it's all explained in the diagrams that follow, and there's a flow chart with more instruction as well - we look after you very nicely here.

“Who and what am I?” “Why do I exist?” Each of us, during some part of our life, wonders about these questions. While we’re aware of our own being, we don’t actually know how or why we came to be. Our existence poses a great mystery. Our view of who we are and why we’re here, consciously or unconsciously, affect every moment of our lives.

In the year 563B.C. on the border of modern day Nepal and India, a son was born to a chieftain of the Sakya clan. His name was Siddhartha Gotama and at the age of thirty-five, he attained, after six years of struggle and through his own insight, full enlightenment or Buddhahood. The term 'Buddha' is not a name of a god or an incarnation of a god, despite later Hindu claims to the contrary, but is a title for one who has realised through good conduct, mental cultivation, and wisdom the cause of life's vicissitudes and the way to overcome them. Buddhism is perhaps. unique amongst the world's religions in that it does not place reliance for salvation on some external power, such as a god or even a Buddha, but places the responsibility for life's frustrations squarely on the individual. The Buddha said:

Nguyện đem công đức này, trang nghiêm Phật Tịnh Độ, trên đền bốn ơn nặng, dưới cứu khổ ba đường,
nếu có người thấy nghe, đều phát lòng Bồ Đề, hết một báo thân này, sinh qua cõi Cực Lạc.

May the Merit and virtue,accrued from this work, adorn the Buddhas pureland,
Repay the four great kindnesses above, andrelieve the suffering of those on the three paths below,
may those who see or hear of these efforts generates Bodhi Mind, spend their lives devoted to the Buddha Dharma,
the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
