Buddha Purnima 2023: Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as Buddha, is regarded as a revered teacher and philosopher who serves as an example for all people who practise Buddhism. Although the founder of the religion, Buddha, lived roughly 2,500 years ago, between the 6th and the 4th century BCE, his teachings still apply to and inspire modern practitioners today. Buddha statements are frequently cited by Buddhists and other people seeking wisdom to understand themselves and the world.
Buddha stated many perceptive and thought-provoking things during his lifetime that are still relevant now, demonstrating that the fundamental nature of life does not change. We continue to look for direction on strength, anger, joy, and love. That is why the teachings of the Buddha endure and are still used today.
