Mohon Maaf!! Sejauh yang saya tahu, HIKMAHBUDHI sama sekali tidak berpretensi mewakili seluruh Pemuda/Mahasiswa Buddhis Indonesia, pun pula tidak pernah mengklaim bahwa dirinya adalah satu-satunya wakil bagi seluruh komponen Mahasiswa/Pemuda Buddhis Indonesia.
Hanya sebuah kebetulan historis saja, bahwa HIKMAHBUDHI lebih sering bertatap-muka, bergaul, dan menjalin kerja-sama dalam menanggapi isu-isu kebangsaan bersama komponen pemuda Indonesia lainnya. Saya kira, adik-adik saya di HIKMAHBUDHI takkan keberatan (bahkan akan senang sekali) kalau ada elemen Pemuda dan Mahasiswa Buddhis lain yang juga memiliki kesadaran dan wawasan kebangsaan yang sejalan dengan mereka. Dengan demikian, kita dapat lebih merapatkan barisan untuk bersama-sama menyumbangkan pikiran dan tenaga bagi kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara di bumi pertiwi Indonesia ini.
