Prime Minister Balen Shah has marked the occasion of Buddha Jayanti by advocating for a societal transformation driven by intellect rather than physical force. In a recent statement, he suggested that a genuine revolution does not originate from basic beginnings but starts with "Gya," representing the profound power of knowledge.
Reflecting on the core philosophy of the "Light of Asia," the Prime Minister highlighted the Four Noble Truths concerning the existence and cessation of human suffering. He noted that the path illuminated by the Buddha is essentially a roadmap for resolving life's hardships through clarity and understanding.
Shah characterized the search for solutions as a journey toward light, observing that darkness is merely the absence of radiance. He expressed that once the light of wisdom is embraced, the shadows of ignorance and struggle naturally dissipate.
Celebrating Nepal's heritage as the birthplace of the Buddha, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the nation's steadfast commitment to the principles of non-violence and harmony. He extended his wishes for global peace, urging the public to embrace the spirit of "Appo Deepo Bhava"—being their own light.
The Prime Minister concluded by offering wishes for wisdom to all, framing the Buddhist legacy as a modern necessity for national and global stability.
