ITANAGAR, May 15: Governor Brig. (Dr.) B. D. Mishra (Retd.) has extended warm greetings to the people of the State on the auspicious occasion of Buddha Purnima. He expressed hope that the blessed occasion will continue to propagate Lord Buddha’s messages of universal peace, harmony and brotherhood.
In his message to the people, the Governor said that the holy occasion of Buddha Purnima commemorates the birth, enlightenment and Nirvana of Lord Buddha, the fountain acme of Buddhism. Buddha’s life and mission greatly lifted the Indian social order and became a sublime model of empathy. His profound philosophy of life continues to inspire the world. His enlightened tenets of the Four Noble Truths, i.e. the ‘truth of suffering’ (Dukkha), the ‘truth of the cause of suffering’ (Samudaya), the ‘truth of the cessation of suffering’ (Nirodha), and the ‘truth of the path to the cessation of suffering’ (Marga), are the quintessence of his guidance to the mankind. His preaching of the eight noble paths, i.e. right views, right thoughts, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right meditation are ever relevant and perennially benevolent paths for everyone to follow, he said.
On this sacred day, I join my people of Arunachal Pradesh and the Buddhist community all over the world in offering prayers to Lord Buddha for his blessings to all, the Governor said in his message.
