Buddhist philosophy has in this age of materialism gained much more importance than ever due to its strong belief in non-violence and peace. Buddhism is one of the best ways to achieve peace and harmony in society, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha M. Mallikarjun Kharge has said.
He was speaking after paying obeisance to Lord Buddha on the occasion of the 2,566th Buddha Pournima celebrations at Buddha Vihar on the outskirts of Kalaburagi on Monday.
“The philosophy of Buddhism is as relevant today as ever in an era of violence, especially as some parts of the world are grappling with complex problems that seem intractable,” Mr. Kharge said and added that following the preachings of the Buddha can help bring permanent happiness. The path of non-violence shown by him can help save the world from conflicts and insecurity, he said.
