“Only by letting go of the perception of victory, defeat, battle, war, can we embrace happiness. Buddha taught the way to overcome these. Hatred cannot disappear with hatred, but with love. True happiness lies in peace, in peace with Coexist,” he said.

He said that if we want the world to be happy, then the only way out is to leave the self, the world, and narrow thinking. The Buddha’s mantra of tolerance is the only way out.

In his speech, the Prime Minister also mentioned the Russo-Ukraine war.

“The way of the Buddha is the way of the future, the way of eternity. If the world followed the teachings of the Buddha, then even a crisis like climate change would not be before us. This crisis happened because, in the last century, Some countries are not thinking about other countries and future generations,” he said.

Be it a peace mission in a different country of the world or a disaster like the earthquake in Turkey…India stands with humanity in every time of crisis and with Mama Buff to reach its full potential, he said. (Arnie)
