........ In preparation for the Global Youth leadership Summit, Sathira-Dhammasathan, together with the Thai Government and other partners, will hold an SOS International Youth Leadership Summit from June 5-14, 2006, at the center in Bangkok, Thailand. In recognition that the Summit is held during the period of the 60-year Anniversary Celebrations of His Majesty, King Bhumibol's,

........ Accession to The Throne, which Sathira-Dhammasathan has paid (*take out -' the') tribute to through "The living Monument of 60 years and 60 Million Good Acts" Project, His Majesty's speech will be the leading concept, introduced in the Summit. The Summit intends to utilize His majesty's speech as a spiritual inspiration to create "The Walking Monument" of volunteers, who will follow His majesty's footsteps in serving the world. Another role model to be studied and learned from is Her Royal Highness The Princess Mother, who has brought HM the King up to be a King who has willingly, selflessly and compassionately served the country, from his youth to the present.

........The year 2006 not only celebrates the 60-year Anniversary of His Majesty The King's Accession to the Throne, but also it celebrates the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of the Venerable Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, who has been honored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as one of the world's great personalities. One of His Venerable's teachings reflects the principles used in the Summit, which are
"Youth morality is the basis for world peace" and that "world peace can only happen when
1. Everybody understands the core of their own religion
2. Everybody understands (*take out - 'other') religions other than their own
3. We move away from a world of materialism

Combining the teaching and the experiences of these great persons, will be a spiritual inspiration and a way of life that the young leaders can follow, so that they too can be a factor in creating world peace.
