India, in the last nine years, has been making big strides following Bhuddha teachings, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. 

Speaking at Budhha's teachings including the path of Theory, Practice and Realisation. India has progressed rapidly on all these three points. 

The Global Buddhist Summit is being held at a time when India is celebrating 75 years of her independence when India is celebrating the "Amrit Mahotsav'.

"India is moving ahead in the "Amrit Kaal" towords becoming a developed country. India has resolved for the welfare of not India but also for the whole wide world, PM Modi said.

"We can embrace happiness only if we renunciate realisations of Victory, Defeats, Fights, Wars. Lord Buddha has taught the path to overcome these. Enmity cannot vanish with enmity but with Love. Actual happiness lies in peace, in living together with peace", he said. 

If we want to make the world happy, then this Buddha's manthra of inclsiveness is the only way by leaving the self, the world, and narrow thnking, he said.

Prime Minister also mentioned the Russia-Ukraine war in his speech.

"The path of Buddha is the path of the future, the path of sustainability. If the world had followed the teaching of Buddha, then even a crisis like a climate change would not have come in fornt of us. This crisis came about because, in the last century, some countrises did not think about others, about future generations", he said. 
Be it peace missions in different countries of the world or a calamity like an earthquake in Turkey... India stand with humanity in times of every crisis, with Mim Bhav, by putting its full potential, he said
