India has shown how we can face challenges by following path of Buddha, he says.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 24 said Lord Buddha was more relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic and that India had shown how it could face adversities by following his path. As a part of the Dhamma Chakra and Ashadha Purnima programme organised by the International Buddhist Confederation, Mr. Modi said in a video message: “Lord Buddha is all the more relevant in today’s times of corona pandemic. India has shown how we can face even the most difficult challenges by following the path of the Buddha. Today all the countries are moving in solidarity and becoming each other’s strength by following the teachings of the Buddha.” According to an English translation of his speech released by the PMO, Mr. Modi cited Buddha’s teachings and said “enmity does not quell enmity”.
