Description
A Buddhist monastery in Bangladesh has found renown for opening its doors to the needy during Ramadan -- a beacon of interfaith harmony in a time of religious tension.
For more than a decade, the Dharmarajika Buddhist Monastery in Dhaka has provided free meals for hundreds of the capital's poorest residents to break their fast each evening during the Muslim holy month.
Its work has assumed a new resonance this year after political upheaval that last summer ousted autocratic ex-premier Sheikh Hasina, leaving many religious minorities in the Muslim-majority nation fearful of persecution. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
