Prime Minister extends greetings on Buddha Purnima
May 01, 2026
PM shares a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the Eightfold Path

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today extended his best wishes to all citizens on the auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima. Highlighting a strong commitment towards realising the ideals of Lord Buddha, the Prime Minister hoped that his thoughts would deepen the spirit of joy and togetherness in society. He further urged everyone to reiterate the resolve to adopt the life values of Lord Buddha on this sacred occasion that inspires walking on the path of peace, compassion, and goodwill.

Sharing a Sanskrit Subhashitam, the Prime Minister noted that according to Gautama Buddha, when a person understands that there is no permanent self-existing entity either within or outside and follows the Eightfold Path, right view, right intention and right conduct, then they become free from suffering and attain supreme peace.

In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister wrote:

"Best wishes on Buddha Purnima. Our commitment towards realising the ideals of Lord Buddha is very strong. May his thoughts deepen the spirit of joy and togetherness in our society."

"सभी देशवासियों को बुद्ध पूर्णिमा की असीम शुभकामनाएं। शांति, करुणा और सद्भावना के मार्ग पर चलने की प्रेरणा देने वाले इस पावन अवसर पर आइए, भगवान बुद्ध के जीवन मूल्यों को अपनाने का संकल्प दोहराएं।

नान्तर्बहिश्च लोकेषु त्वात्मानं दृष्टवान् क्वचित्।
आष्टाङ्गिकेन मार्गेण परमां शान्तिमाययौ॥"

According to Gautama Buddha, when a person understands that there is no permanent self-existing entity either within or outside and follows the Eightfold Path-right view, right intention and right conduct-then they become free from suffering and attain supreme peace.
