會議將確認並強調所有傳統共有的研究和實踐的益處，同時發展對那些被視為不同的傳統內所存在的優勢的欣賞和理解。

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.
迫切需要討論如何保持既定佛教傳統的真實性，同時允許調整佛陀的教義，以滿足人們在這個充滿挑戰的時代的需求。
對於那些不熟悉佛教的地區和年輕一代來說，佛法需要更容易理解、更相關、更有意義。
為了實現這個目標，並防止佛法的退化，我們必須考慮如何在當今世界支持和維持佛教僧侶的標準。
