Abstract

The article focuses on the return of sacred relics of Lord Buddha to Ladakh after 75 years, described by Union Home Minister Amit Shah as a "historic reunion" that underscores Ladakh's role as a "living land of dharma" preserving Buddhist knowledge and culture. Shah highlighted Ladakh's historical significance in the spread of Buddhism through ancient routes connecting India, Kashmir, and Tibet, and emphasized the continued relevance of Buddha's teachings of peace, compassion, and the middle path in addressing modern conflicts. He also noted the importance of moral discipline alongside spiritual practice and knowledge for a wise life and called for arrangements to allow followers of all faiths to visit the relics. The event coincided with the 2569th Buddha Purnima celebrations in Leh. [Extracted from the article]
