Answer: Sri Lanka
Notes: Sri Lanka is currently celebrating the sacred Poson Poya festival, which marks the historic arrival of Buddhism to the island over 2,000 years ago. The festival is observed on the full moon day of June and commemorates the first sermon preached by Arahat Mahinda, son of Emperor Ashoka, to King Devanampiyatissa at Mihintale. A central message of the Poson Poya festival is ‘Ahimsa’ or non-violence, reminding people of the timeless value of peace, life, and mutual respect in today’s conflict-ridden world.
