OFFICIAL STATEMENT AND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS FOR COOPERATION

The Office of Siridantamahapalaka
Issued by: Sao Dhammasami (Bhikkhu Indasoma Siridantamahapalaka — Pen Name)
Research Scholar | Author | Founder of HSWAGATA | Custodian of Tooth Relics


Primary contact country: Thailand and Myanamr
Date: 18th Dec 2025

1) Official Statement

I, Sao Dhammasami, announce the publication of my book:

Custodians of the Buddha’s Sacred Relics Vol.1: Discover the Legacy of Sacred Treasures (English Edition)

On January 18, 2025, I issued the press release:
“Comprehensive Statement on the Discovery and Research of Buddha Relics.”

After this, I travelled to Sri Lanka and India to meet custodians, Saṅgha, and community members. I also informed relevant embassies, government offices, and Saṅgha/community leaders in advance. I submitted information to UNESCO (Thailand Office and Headquarters) as part of transparent heritage communication.

My purpose is peaceful and respectful:

  • To protect and preserve Buddha tooth relic heritage

  • To support correct understanding and reduce rumours

  • To build safe cooperation between custodians, Saṅgha, heritage bodies, and scientific partners

HSWAGATA confirms:

  • We do not support trade, sale, or misuse of sacred relics.

  • Any work must be ethical, lawful, non-harming, and respectful to faith.

  • We will communicate carefully and avoid conflict.

HSWAGATA now opens a public call for applications for cooperation with qualified partners.

We welcome applications from:

Lab cooperation countries: India and USA

Possible tests discussed with partners:

  • DNA testing

Important ethical rule: Some tests may require a very small sample.
There will be no sampling and no destructive work unless there is:

  • written consent by the authorized custodian body,

  • clear risk review and minimal method,

  • full chain-of-custody records,

  • and (if requested) an observer/witness option.

D. Education & Public Communication

  • talks, workshops, exhibitions, translations

  • calm and factual responses to misinformation

  • simple learning materials for communities

  • security planning and incident prevention


4) Basic Requirements

  • Respect Buddhist tradition and community harmony

  • No commercial trade or promotion of relic sales

  • Confidentiality for sensitive details (location, security, access)

  • No public claims before joint review (when required)
