In response...


This is a reply to the letter on "Lord Buddha's Hair" published on July 23.

Sir, please be informed that the whole relic has not been given away, and other Buddhist nations like Thailand and Japan received some as gifts a few years back. This is also a way of showing how much we value these countries' friendship.

Giving these countries a portion of the Lord's hair cannot harm our heritage, and it is perhaps a good way of showing our respect to those countries and their religion.
