What a guy!
Nobody ever has gone so far as he.
No words to express my feelings.

Buddhist Grigorius from semi-desert.

Never seen such a vital person as V.Vaartnou.

First Estonian Party of National Independence and second International Buddhsit Conferences.

Amazing person and Estonian.

au ja kiitus Vaartnoule, see mees ei v2si yllatamast. Eesti p2ritole mees teeb rahvusvahelisi konverentse Austraalias. Viimase peal. Ja mis teemal- Buddhism & australia.
Austraalias on budism alles noor ja selline konverents aitab kaasa kovasti budismi arengule austraalias. Vaartnou ja seltskond kellega ta konverentse teeb on t6esti kovad tegijad.

I have lived in Perth for decades and as a Buddhist I welcome these sort of International events. What makes this Event so special is that a man from another side of the Globe is organizing these sort of scientific conferences in WA. I was fascinated about his achievements in the past and the level of the participants he invited to Perth. Through my experience this was one of the best Conferences I have been to, because of the friendly atmosphere between the organisers, participants and the general public.
Thanks for organising this Ven Vaartnou and i will follow closely the developments of your future projects.
Amazing Person!

Ma ei teadnudgi et eestlased valismaailmas(austraalias) nii korgel tasemel konverentse peavad, mille ule mul on hea meel.Tore on teada ja naha et Vello Vaartnou eesti mainet korgel hoiab.
Koike head talle sinna teist poole maakera.

Incredible event, such collection of top-level professors and monks, should be very good connections to Drepung Gomang and Gandan to get them to the conference. Would like to attend the next year myself.
My complimets to Väärtnõu and organizers, well done!

Go Vello, Go. You have proven to be a hero for Estonia. You have my full support (from a long distance)
