The Tibetan spiritual guru discussed compassion, wisdom, and meditation throughout his roughly 30-minute speech. These three principles, according to the Dalai Lama, lie at the heart of Lord Buddha's teachings and philosophy. The visit of the Dalai Lama was not confirmed. At a news conference on Monday, the event's organisers revealed that he had received an invitation. It had not yet been decided if he would go, though.
Meanwhile, in his opening remarks at the historic conference on Thursday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. PM Modi spoke on the difficulties of the present in his speech. Concerns mentioned in his speech were terrorism, conflict, climate change, economic instability, and religious extremism.

Furthermore, it is a groundbreaking summit that India is hosting. India, the birthplace of Buddha, has a special edge in promoting Buddhism around the world. It is possible to use occasions like Buddha Purnima, which honours the Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and nirvana, as a platform to spread the message of Buddhism.
