PM Modi underscored the importance of the path of Buddha adding that his path is of the future, the path of sustainability.
He also said that India has not given war to the world, but ‘Buddha’.
“The war and unrest that the world is suffering from today, centuries ago Lord Buddha had given a solution. The journey of solving problems is the journey of Buddha. India considers the sorrow of every human being as its own sorrow,” PM Modi said.
PM Modi said that the world can embrace happiness only if “we renunciate realisations of Victory, Defeats, Fights, Wars”.
“Lord Buddha has taught the path to overcome these. Enmity can not vanish with enmity but with Love. Actual happiness lies in peace, in living together with peace. If we want to make the world happy, then this Buddha mantra of inclusiveness is the only way by leaving the self, the world, the narrow thinking,” PM Modi said.
Referring to the earthquake in Turkey, PM Modi said, “Be it peace missions in different countries of the world or a calamity like an earthquake in Turkey… India stands with humanity in times of every crisis, with ‘Mum Bhav’, by putting its full potential.”
He also informed how India played a key role in improving the Buddha Circuit.
“We improved the Buddha Circuit in India and Nepal. Be it Kushinagar International Airport or Lumbini, where India International Centre for Buddhist Culture is being established; India is working holistically in this direction,” said PM Modi. (NDTV)
