KATHMANDU: Vice President Ramsahay Prasad Yadav has said the time has come to internalize the Buddha’s teaching and devote it to the country’s development and prosperity.

Giving a message of best wishes on the occasion of the Buddha Purnima today, Vice President Yadav wished peace, prosperity and happiness to all Nepali Buddhist sisters and brothers living in the country and abroad.

Similarly, he also extended best wishes on the occasion of the Ubhauli festival.

Peace and fraternity is possible in the world with the adherence to Buddhist philosophy, he reminded, adding Lord Buddha’s quest was to show the value of truth and peace, which makes irrelevant the power and properties.

Buddha is the epitome of nonviolence and peace. Buddhism has a huge impact on Nepali’s Hinduism as well, he added.
