According to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lord Buddha’s teachings serve as the foundation for solutions to the world’s most pressing problems, such as war, economic insecurity, terrorism, and climate change. Over the centuries, Gautama Buddha’s noble teachings have influenced countless people. India has consistently spread Lord Buddha’s values over the last nine years. We have worked tirelessly to ensure that his teachings reach every corner of the globe, PM Modi said at the first Global Buddhist Summit in Delhi on Thursday. Buddhist spiritual leaders from all over the world are attending the Summit. The power of crores of Lord Buddha’s followers around the world is filled with infinite energy, PM Modi said, adding that the Buddha provided a solution centuries ago to the world’s war and unrest.
