Today, is a historic occasion, the Abhidhamma Day, the Prime Minister noted, saying that Pali was the language in which Buddha\u2019s teachings were conveyed on this day, now the language has been given a classical status. Therefore, Pali is crucial to understanding the Dhamma. \u201cA language is simply not just a mode of communications, it is the soul of a civilization, it\u2019s culture, it\u2019s heritage. It is our responsibility to keep Pali alive and through it the Buddha\u2019s message,\u201d he said. Speaking at the inauguration of the International Abhidhamma Divas and the celebration for the recognition of Pali as a classical language, the Prime Minister emphasized that though Pali was not in usage currently, a language, literature, art and spiritual traditions express the heritage of a nation, which is its identity. The government of India will preserve and promote Pali.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister was giving the keynote address at the event organised by the International Buddhist Confederation (IBC) under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture. He, however added that before independence centuries of colonial rule and the invaders tried to wipe out India\u2019s identity, and those with a \u2018slave mindset\u2019 did so after our independence. The eco system then had taken India away from its heritage, and India was left far behind. \u201cThe government of India is making all the efforts to revive India\u2019s Buddhist heritage. In the last few years, we have brought back over 600 artefacts to India, most of which were Buddhist objects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister further said that \u201cWe are trying to promote Pali through apps, digitisation, and archival research. Both academic and spiritual efforts are needed to understand Pali. Scholars and academics should guide the people in understanding Buddha Dhamma, he said.<\/p>\n
In the revival of Buddha\u2019s legacy, India is reinventing its identity and it is engaged in fulfilling both rapid development and reviving its rich heritage, he stressed.<\/p>\n
He had a word for the youth of the country too, saying that the youth in India should not only lead the world in science and technology but also be proud of their culture, values, and roots.<\/p>\n
