X-posted from Vietnam Studies Group list. 
In case anyone is interested in the Day of Wesak Conference in
HaNoi, May 15/08. 
If a full report appears, I'll forward it.
Getting 2000 participants sounds pretty good~~~~.

I just returned from Hanoi; the Vesak conference/meeting had over
2000 participants and from what I saw  (I was involved with the
workshops) it went quite well. There's a lot to report, but I
still need time to digest it all!
At the opening ceremony, representatives from the UN and UNESCO
offices in Hanoi were present and spoke briefly.
 
If I can get an overall report from this conference, I can share
it with you and the list.
All the best,
Elise
