Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao is spreading the teachings of Gautam Buddha worldwide from Telangana. The state government is reviving old Buddhist temples spread in different parts of the state to help propagate Buddhism on Telangana soil. According to KCR, the roots of Telangana’s social life and culture are deeply embedded in Buddhism.
On the occasion of Buddha Pournima, the birth anniversary of Gautam Buddha, KCR extended his greetings to the people. He said that it’s a proud moment for every Indian to live on the land where Buddha taught noble principles of peaceful coexistence 2,500 years ago. Buddha’s teachings are immortal and will remain relevant as long as human society exists.
The Buddhist sites dating back thousands of years on the banks of river Krishna and Godavari rivers are evidence of the spread of Buddhism in Telangana. The government has developed ‘Buddhavanam’ with international standards at NagarjunaSagar, attracting tourists from all over the world.
Practicing the teachings of Gautama Buddha will help mankind achieve utopian life, and the enlightenment of living in harmony with nature. Love, compassion, and non-violence taught by Lord Buddha are imperative for today’s society. The government is making efforts to ensure that the people of Telangana live happily in all fields. The state government is fulfilling Lord Buddha’s aspirations by implementing schemes meant for the development of all sections of people regardless of caste, colour, and religion.
