The conference will identify and highlight the benefits of studies and practices that are common to all traditions as well as develop an appreciation and understanding of the strengths of found within those traditions which are viewed as being different.
会议将确认并强调所有传统共有的研究和实践的益处，同时发展对那些被视为不同的传统内所存在的优势的欣赏和理解。

There is an urgent and pressing need to discuss how to maintain the authenticity of established Buddhist traditions while at the same time allow for adaptation of the Buddha’s teachings to meet the needs of people during these challenging times. The Dharma needs to be made more easily accessible, relevant, and meaningful to those in regions unfamiliar with Buddhism and the younger generations. In order to achieve this goal and prevent the degeneration of the Dharma, it is imperative to consider how to support and maintain the standards of Buddhist monastics in our contemporary world.
迫切需要讨论如何保持既定佛教传统的真实性，同时允许调整佛陀的教义，以满足人们在这个充满挑战的时代的需求。
对于那些不熟悉佛教的地区和年轻一代来说，佛法需要更容易理解、更相关、更有意义。
为了实现这个目标，并防止佛法的退化，我们必须考虑如何在当今世界支持和维持佛教僧侣的标准。
