Kathmandu, May 1
Prime Minister
Balendra Shah has extended greetings to all on the occasion of the Buddha
Jayanti – birth anniversary of Lord Buddha.
"On the occasion of the birth anniversary of the eternally great
proponent of peace, the Buddha, I wish for world peace. Blessed is our Nepali
land by the birth of the Buddha; it has always stood for non-violence and peace,"
he said in his Facebook post.
“There is suffering; there is a cause of
suffering; there is the cessation of suffering; and there is a path leading to
the cessation of suffering,” he quoted Gautam Buddha, and said, the path shown
by the Buddha is the path to ending suffering.
"Darkness is simply the absence of
light; when a ray of light steps in, darkness disappears of its own accord. Our
journey, likewise, should be in search of the light of knowledge, along the
path of resolving problems, said PM Shah.
According to him, true revolution (kranti)
begins not with 'ka' but with 'gnya' which signifies knowledge (gyana).
'Ka' and 'gya' are the first and last letters in Devnagari script
or Nepali language.
