Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said\u00a0Lord Buddha\u2019s teachings reinforce India\u2019s commitment to saving humanity and in a crisis like\u00a0COVID-19\u00a0our nation is constantly working to help countries across the globe and will continue to do the same.
Speaking on the occasion of\u00a0Buddha Purnima, Prime Minister Modi said, \u201cBuddha is the symbol of both realisation and self-realisation of India. With this self-realisation, India is working in the interest of humanity and the world and will continue to do so. India is constantly working to help other countries across the globe and will continue to do the same. Today, India is standing firmly in support of everyone, without any discrimination, who are in need or who are in trouble, in the country or across the globe.\u201d
\u201cWhile making every possible effort to save every countryman, India is also sincerely fulfilling its global obligations.\u00a0Lord Buddha\u2019s teachings reinforce India\u2019s commitment to saving humanity. To stop after getting tired cannot be a solution to any problem. All of us have to fight together to defeat coronavirus,\u201d he added.
With the world battling the\u00a0COVID-19\u00a0pandemic, Prime Minister Modi said that the teachings of\u00a0Lord Buddha\u00a0have become all the more relevant.
\u201cLord Buddha\u00a0had said that man must continuously strive to overcome difficult situations. Today, we all are continuously trying to overcome a difficult situation, we are working together. The four truths were given by\u00a0Lord Buddha- Compassion, mercy, equanimity, accepting everything as it is. These truths have been our constant inspirations. Discarding considerations of profit and loss, powerful or weak, for us, this is a time to extend a helping hand as much as possible. This is the reason that many countries remembered India in these times of crisis and our nation left no stone unturned in offering help to them,\u201d he said.
