A joint written prayer was read out there. It reflected the will of the Buddhists in the north and the south to pave the way for the tour of Mt. Kumgang and a pilgrimage to the Singye Temple, improve the inter-Korean relations and actively turn out in actions for the reunification, peace and prosperity of the country.
