Lord Buddha teaches us the path of peace: PM at Quan Su Pagoda

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, today visited the Quan Su Pagoda in Hanoi, Vietnam.

He offered prayers at the Sanctum Sanctorum, and was given a rousing reception by the monks.

Interacting with the monks, the Prime Minister said that he is fortunate to visit the Pagoda, and recalled that India’s first President Dr. Rajendra Prasad had visited this Pagoda in 1959.

Noting that links between India and Vietnam were 2000 years old, the Prime Minister said that while some came to make war, India had come with the message of peace – the message of Buddha, which has endured.

He said the world must walk on the path of peace, which brings happiness and prosperity. The Prime Minister said Buddhism took the sea route from India to Vietnam, and therefore Vietnam has received the purest form of Buddhism. He said he has seen a glow on the faces of the monks who have been to India, and a great curiosity on the faces of those who wish to travel to India.

The Prime Minister invited them to visit the land of the Buddha, and especially Varanasi, which he represents in Parliament.

June 19, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has said that virtues such as knowledge, wisdom and foresight are the foundation of success in life. He noted that a person enriched with these qualities is able to overcome even the most difficult challenges and emerge victorious.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam-

“शास्त्रे प्रतिष्ठा सहजश्च बोधः प्रागल्भ्यमभ्यस्तगुणा च वाणी ।

कालानुरोधः प्रतिभानवत्त्वमेते गुणाः कामदुघाः क्रियासु ॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that authentic knowledge of the subject, natural prudence, fearless self-confidence, powerful speech refined through practice, foresight to recognize the demands of the time and ever-new wisdom, these six qualities prove to be like 'kamadhenu' in every endeavor of a human being, which helps in achieving every goal.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“ज्ञान, विवेक और दूरदर्शिता जैसे सद्गुण जीवन में सफलता का प्रमुख आधार हैं। इनसे समृद्ध व्यक्ति कठिन से कठिन चुनौतियों में भी विजयी होता है।

शास्त्रे प्रतिष्ठा सहजश्च बोधः प्रागल्भ्यमभ्यस्तगुणा च वाणी ।

कालानुरोधः प्रतिभानवत्त्वमेते गुणाः कामदुघाः क्रियासु ॥”
