OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR COOPERATION

Hswagata Buddha Tooth Relics Preservation Private Museum (HSWAGATA)

The Office of Siridantamahapalaka

1) Official Statement

I, Sao Dhammasami, announce the publication of my book:

Custodians of the Buddha’s Sacred Relics Vol.1: Discover the Legacy of Sacred Treasures (English Edition)

On January 18, 2025, I issued the press release:
“Comprehensive Statement on the Discovery and Research of Buddha Relics.”

After this, I travelled to Sri Lanka and India to meet custodians, Saṅgha, and community members. I also informed relevant embassies, government offices, and Saṅgha/community leaders in advance. I submitted information to UNESCO (Thailand Office and Headquarters) as part of transparent heritage communication.

My purpose is peaceful and respectful:

• To protect and preserve Buddha tooth relic heritage

• To support correct understanding and reduce rumours

• To build safe cooperation between custodians, Saṅgha, heritage bodies, and scientific partners

HSWAGATA confirms:

• We do not support trade, sale, or misuse of sacred relics.

• Any work must be ethical, lawful, non-harming, and respectful to faith.

• We will communicate carefully and avoid conflict.
