Recognizing the members of Buddha's Light International Association on the occasion of the 2025 North America Fellowship Meeting.
This is a ceremonial resolution (SR 403), not a policy bill. It formally recognizes the Buddha's Light International Association (BLIA) and its 2025 North America Fellowship Meeting, which will be hosted in Austin, Texas, from April 18-20, 2025. The resolution honors BLIA’s global membership (over one million across 100+ countries) and its focus on cross-cultural understanding, environmental preservation, and community service. The Texas Senate expresses its support through a formal resolution, extending "sincere best wishes" for the event but making no new laws or funding commitments.
