CEA Honoured by Sitagu Sayadaw Attendance
9th October 2014
To mark the occasion of their recently opened office in central Yangon (Myanmar), CEA Project Logistics were honoured by the attendance of Monk Bhante Ashin Nyanissara, commonly known as the Sitagu Sayadaw, and his fellow monks to bless the new office & wish good luck with a prosperous future.
Sitagu Sayadaw is Myanmar’s most revered religious figure and is respected throughout the world by Buddhist and non-Buddhist religions. In 1978, he founded the Sitagu International Buddhist Missionary Center, shortly after establishing a monastery in Sagaing Hills in Myanmar. He is known for his charismatic leadership and practices of socially-engaged Buddhism. His organisation has funded many social projects in our country including water pumps, the construction of hospitals (including the Sitagu Ayudana Hospital in 1985) and the Sitagu Buddhist Academy (1998). Bhante Sitagu Sayadaw is lauded for his missionary and charity works, especially in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis in 2008, which killed upwards of 100,000 in the country''s delta regions.
Country Manager, John Hamilton states; "To have someone which such esteem as Monk Sitagu to come and bless our office is truly amazing. This man has done so much for the people of Myanmar - a trait that we wish to emulate with CEA Project Logistics”
After greeting the staff of CEA Myanmar, a blessing ceremony was performed before sitting down to a sumptuous buffet prepared in honour of the guests, as photographed below.
