New Delhi On the occasion of Buddha Purnima, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the people through video conferencing in an event that the word of Lord Buddha - Mano Pubban-Gama Dhamma, Manosetha Manomaya, i.e., Dhamma is from the mind, mind is the prime , Is the leader of all trends. Buddha is not limited to any one situation. Even today, his learning has been in constant flow in our lives. At a time when the corona virus (Covid-19) epidemic in the world is in turmoil, at times there is a lot of grief, despair, frustration, the learning of Lord Buddha became even more relevant.

PM Modi said, 'Happy Buddha Purnima to all of you and followers of Lord Buddha spread all over the world, many best wishes for the Vesak festival. The word of Lord Buddha is - Mano Pubbam-gama Dhamma, Manosetha Manomaya, ie, Dhamma is from the mind itself, mind is the prime, leading all tendencies. It would be a great pleasure to be among you, but the situation is not like that right now. So, from afar, through technology you gave me the opportunity to speak, I am satisfied. Such integration of ceremonies taking place at Sri Anuradhapura Stupa and Vaskaduwa Temple in Sri Lanka apart from Lumbini, Bodh Gaya, Sarnath and Kushinagar is very beautiful. Online broadcasting of Puja programs happening everywhere is an amazing experience in itself.

Regarding the Corona Warriors, our health care workers, PM Modi said, 'You have resolved to celebrate this event as a prayer week for health workers and other service workers from all over the world who are facing the Corona global epidemic. I commend you for this compassionate initiative. The message and resolve to remove the difficulty of every life has always shown direction to India's civilization, culture. Lord Buddha has further enriched this culture of India. He became his own lamp and through his life journey, he illuminated the lives of others as well.

He said, 'Buddha is not limited to any one circumstance, is not limited to any one subject. Siddharth's birth, before and after Siddharth's becoming Gautama,

The cycle of time has been going on for so many centuries, covering many situations, time has changed, the situation has changed, the system of society has changed, but the message of Lord Buddha has been continuously flowing in our life. This has been possible only because Buddha is not just a name, but also a sacred thought.

He said that in this phase of the epidemic, we are seeing many people around us who serve others, treat a patient, feed a poor, clean a hospital, a road But working 24 hours to maintain law and order. Every such person outside India deserves a reception.

Modi said that Buddha is the limit of renunciation and penance. Buddha is synonymous with service and dedication. Buddha is the culmination of social change with strong will. At a time when there is turmoil in the world, many times the feeling of sorrow, despair, frustration is seen very much, then the learning of Lord Buddha would become even more relevant. He used to say that human beings should constantly strive to overcome difficult situations, get out of them. Getting tired and tired is not an option. Today, all of us are also constantly working together to get out of a difficult situation.

PM Modi said that the 4 truths told by Lord Buddha i.e. mercy, compassion, happiness and affection for happiness and sorrow and accepting it as it is, these truths continue to be the inspiration of the land of India. You are also seeing today that India stands firmly in selfless sense, without distinction, anywhere and in the world, with the person in distress. India today is making every effort to save the life of every Indian, and is following its global obligations equally seriously.

In the end, PM Modi said that in this difficult situation you should take care of yourself, your family, whichever country you are in, protect yourself and help others as much as possible.
