He said
 Buddhist women could draw up core teachings of their faith and belief to provide a better understanding of the religion as well as to promote local culture and religious values.  “Just like women from other faiths, Buddhist women have the intellectual and spiritual capabilities, leadership qualities and educational training to contribute towards making our community a better one,” Ong said when opening the Ninth Sakyadhita (Daughters of Buddha) International Conference on Buddhist Women near here yesterday.  More than 500 participants from 45 countries gathered at the Sau Seng Lum Exhibition Centre in Taman Putra Perdana, Puchong, for the conference, themed, Buddhist Women in a Global Multicultural Community.  Ong said the conference theme was both timely and appropriate, as it highlights the important role that women play in Buddhism.  The event, held every two years in different parts of the world, is jointly organised this
 year by the Sakyadhita International Association of Buddhist Women and the Buddhist Association of Malaysia.
