Colombo, April 18 (Daily Mirror) - To advance the implementation of the "Mindfulness" programme, the Education Ministry plans to launch it with a Global Week Summit on May 3 and 4.
Accordingly, the summit will be held at the Nāgānanda International Institute for Buddhist Studies (NIIBS) in Kelaniya.
