Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday once again called on the world to follow Lord Buddha’s ideal amid the continued global uncertainty, saying his messages are needed for the present as well as the future. The prime minister was likely referring to the US-Iran war that has caused a global uncertainty and disrupted the world’s economy.
Extending his greetings to the countrymen ahead of Buddha Purnima, the prime minister said an organisation in South America’s Chile is promoting the teachings of Lord Buddha. He further said his teachings help the people stay connected with the nature.
“Lord Buddha has taught us that peace begins within us; he has conveyed to us that victory over oneself is the greatest victory. Amid the tensions and conflicts the world is going through today, Buddha’s teachings have become very important,” PM Modi, who has repeatedly pushed for the world to follow Lord Buddha’s teachings and stressed that this is not an era of war, said at his monthly radio programme ‘Mann Ki Baat’.
