Jakarta – Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar visited the Ekayana Arama Wihara (Indonesia Buddhist Center), West Jakarta, during the celebration of Vesak Day 2569. At the event, Nazaruddin reminded the message to spreading positive energy. “One of the Buddhist messages is how we spread positive energy to someone, not just people, but trees, rocks, water, heaven, etc.,” said Nazaruddin at the Ekayana Arama Temple, Western Jakarta, Monday (12/5/2025). Nazaruddin said the positive message could be reflected in unity and mutual respect between religious believers. According to him, differences are the main character as humanity.

The unit between the difference itself is not interpreted as an attempt to be uniform. According to Nasaruddin, differences in unity are intended to get used to life in the midst of differences without disturbing each other. “In my opinion, it’s not how to unite, make one, but how to get used to ourselves to live in the midst of differences without disturbing each other,” Nazaruddin said. Nasaruddin said the unit between differences was the pride of Indonesia. He hoped that nothing would damage the unity and the community. “It is Indonesia, and it is pride and happiness that can unite us above the differences. Differences are God’s paintings. Do not harm. Differences are grace. We must maintain. Differences are the power of Indonesia. Let us care,” Nasaruddin added.
