Sumnima Udas, on why this museum is important to Nepal and the Buddhist community world-wide.

"Lumbini is a very special place. This is where you see all the vehicles of the Buddha Dharma coming together. This is like a big Buddhist spiritual junction and it is not recent, it has always been like this; and at long last a dedicated Buddhist Museum is happening. Thank you for this, it is high time."
