One of the most popular Chinese Buddhist gurus, Vajra Master Jinke Xuanlei, said on Sunday that the best way to improve India-China ties is to have Buddha as a key factor in the relationship.The founder of Sino-Esoteric Buddhism Association was speaking at a felicitation by Tarun Vijay, a BJP MP and president of the Parliamentary Group on India China Friendship.The spiritual guru said though he resides in China, his soul was in India.A group of Chinese Buddhist Mandala painters led by Vajra Master is here under a Chinese government initiative to commemorate the 65th year of diplomatic relations between India and China.Their artworks are on display at India Habitat Centre's art gallery here.Vijay said: "Their works on Ganesha, Buddha, (Mahatma) Gandhi and Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi show a deep sense of understanding of the Indian psyche which is a result of age-old interaction nurtured by Buddhist scholars and travellers."
