We need to promote Buddhist philosophy: PM Oli

Kathmandu, Aug. 25

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that the philosophy and message of Buddha should be expanded and promoted through education.

Addressing the 16th Senate Meeting of the Lumbini Buddhist University, PM Oli – who is also the Chancellor of the institution – said that the university was established with a new concept of protecting and promoting the philosophy of Buddhism so it should play a role in the same.

He said that since the university is connected with the consciousness, pride and history of Nepali people, the positive and friendly spirit taught by Buddha is still relevant.

"It is not necessary to put on a robe and become a monk to become a follower of the Buddhist philosophy. It requires knowledge and a conscious mind," stated Prime Minister Oli, "We have started the education of Buddhist philosophy. We will provide quality education that will last a lifetime. With strong determination and continuous efforts, we can achieve development and reach success."

The meeting attended by Minister of Education, Science and Technology Bidya Bhattarai has approved the grace list of 285 students for the third convocation to be held in November this year as well as the policy, programme and budget for this Fiscal Year 2024/25.
