*HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024*

*Dream / Resolution / Agenda:* Introduction of a Climate Friendly & Climate Responsive Behavior Model for the Global Citizens, as a *Global Festival for Humanity.*

*2024: Plantation Festival - Amazonia* (Starting with Brazil & reaching all 9 Amazonian Countries in South America) + Buddha Plantation Festival in Asia

*2025: Plantation Festival - Africa* (With The Great Green Wall Initiative of African Union) + Buddha Plantation Festival in Asia

*2026 & 2027:* Buddha Plantation Festival for 12+ Asian Nations, reaching 30+ Buddhist UNESCO-World Heritage Sites (WHS)

*2028: Plantation Festival ideally introduced in 100 countries globally by COP33 Global Climate Stock Take Event* (possibly India being the host) to establish this as a *Global Festival for Humanity*.

*CULTURE FOR CLIMATE ACTION*: a Social / Behavior Engineering Intervention appreciated by UN Agencies including UNEP, UNWTO, UNCCD, UNESCO and Global citizens & we need more traction.

*Just visualize*, how it would be if the global community's psychic energy for the (like New Year) Celebration / festivals is converted for a *Climate Positive Impact*?!

*Since 2013*, we curated village festival celebrations in 8 states in India, Nepal & Kenya. Basic premise, we have nature friendly cultures in different parts of the world and someone just need to weave them together for engaging larger global community for realizing the possibility of a *Climate Action with a SMILE* & building bridges between People / Communities / Nations.

*HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024 once again..*

Allow me to share this dream, that woke me up:

As a Psychologist, I always have been mindful to have maturity of thought while thinking but choose to express it like a child in ex*****on with no fear but agile and creative ever with a right intention to deliver maximum possible good for the Humanity and life forms around.

Here we aim to keep our Mission & Vision in such a height that our lives and egos become miniscule in front of them, Where we prefer engaging all our psychic energies to deliver maximum possible good for this world and nothing less.

Today I saw one more such flash of mind or revelation occurred and it may be a mere coincidence after adding Shri Ashok Wangdi sir, The First Secretary (Embassy of India, Thailand) to this mission oriented group. Mind is constantly attempting to see this festival gets established. It is restless the whole night for a good reason..🙂👍🏼

I lost the sleep in the middle of night at 3am, felt little happy and energetic to appreciate this thought and wish to align it to the life. mission of establishing Buddha Plantation Festival Initiative as a Green Festival for Humanity, however it needs the acceptance from the Sangha. Other wise consider this as my little ignorance and forgive it as a child's play and move on with the actual mission 🙏🏼

THOUGHT: Just like Buddha Poornima, as the birth celebrations of Buddha; HOW ABOUT WE (LET US) ALL OBSERVE THE BIRTH CELEBRATIONS OF ASHOKA the great as a reason for the Buddha Plantation Festival - this would be a recognition for his humongous work of spreading Buddhism to many parts of the world - by process this would become an annual and recurring festival.. Only thing I learnt and remembered about Ashok the great till recent years is that he PLANTED SAPLINGS..!! Later years I could connect this noble act to Vanaropa Sutta / Plantation Principle.

I lookup to International Buddhist Confederation (IBC) as the authority to help us & bless us in this, Here this thought is for all of us to debate and discuss but I wish this gets established for & as a Green Festival for Humanity - Spreading Biodiversity Conscious Plantation.

Yesterday night while I lost my sleep, I could map 42 Buddhist UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South East Asia where we need to reach with this Green Festival Initiative: Human - aim to reach and invite these embassies while conducting next Buddha Plantation Festival Initiative in India.

One week ahead of Vassavasa (Rainy season retreat) season would be great to celebrate Birthday Celebrations of Ashoka The Great, as it would serve as a reminder to all followers regarding upcoming rainy season. Following this people can engage in Buddha Plantation Festival Initiative in various parts of the world - however in the first month of rainy season alone more saplings to be planted. At the end of each rainy season and before the next birthday celebrations of Ashoka, we can take a toll of the impact created in the form of saplings planted and peace parks created. Peace: Human 🙏
