While I appreciate the sentiments, I wish our leaders would practice Buddha's teachings more consistently in governance. Non-violence and compassion should guide policies too, not just remain beautiful words on festivals.

Buddha's message is India's gift to the world! 🇮🇳 It's amazing how relevant his 2500-year-old teachings remain today. We should promote Buddhist circuits in India more - would boost tourism and spread his philosophy globally.

On this Buddha Purnima, let's remember how Buddha's middle path can help reduce polarization in society. His teachings about moderation are so needed today when everything is becoming extreme. #BuddhaPurnima

I visited Bodh Gaya last year and it was life-changing! The peace there is indescribable. More Indians should visit our Buddhist heritage sites - they're not just religious places but centers of philosophy and history.

Buddha's teachings about compassion should extend to how we treat animals and nature too. His message of ahimsa is complete only when we show kindness to all living beings. Happy Buddha Purnima to all! 🌿
