Bapatla: The 2580th birth anniversary of Gautama Buddha was celebrated under the aegis of Forum for Better Bapatla on Monday.Speaking on the occasion, Tenali RDO M Dhanunjaya said that even after 2,500 years, Buddha's teachings remain relevant for many people throughout the world. “Buddhism continues to attract new followers and is one of the fastest-growing religions.
An estimated 350 to 550 million people practice Buddhism even today. For the first time in human history, Buddha admonished, entreated and appealed to people not to hurt a living being. It is not necessary to offer prayer, praise or sacrifice to gods. With the eloquence at his command, Buddha vehemently proclaimed that gods are also in dire need of salvation.
Religion of Buddha has the capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can claim to have. Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion,” he elaborated.Tenali Tahsildar T Vallaiah garlanded the statue of Buddha and paid rich tributes.The forum secretary, PC Sai Babu, members and staff participated.
