 The Call on humanity to extend compassion and loving-kindness to all living beings in the final declaration at its 26th General Conference.

The World Fellowship of Buddhists, established in 1950 to foster cooperation between Buddhists of different sects all over the world, called on humanity to extend compassion and loving-kindness to all living beings in the final declaration at its 26th General Conference, held in South Korea last month. This action was prompted by Ven. Senaka Weeraratna of the German Dharmaduta Society, who handed in a draft resolution at the conference calling for an animal welfare subcommittee of the WFB Standing Committee for Humanitarian Services.
