Namobuddha killed in Bardia

Yen(Kathmandu), Nepal Mandala – A Nepalnews.com news reports today that a tiger with GPS technology killed. The tiger was named “Namobuddha” by the National Park officials. The Newah is sad to learn of the news that the animal was killed by poisioning in a planned manner. What adds to our sadness is to learn that the animal was named Namobuddha by the very National Park Officials of a country, where the Buddha the proponent of world peace was born. Namobuddha is a wholy mantra among the Buddhists and those who rever Him. A sacred mountain in Kabhre district is also known as Namobuddha where several Buddhist temples are located in respect of the Buddha and hundreds of thousands of people visit to pay their respect.

The Newah do not believe that our Nepalese national park officials have named the tiger Namobuddha intentionally to humiliate the Buddha the world respected One, and His followers in Nepal and the world over, nor the killers were up with the same intention. Hope this is the truth. If so, the officials will correct themselves and bring the culprits to justice. The related sad news reads as in the following:
