ITANAGAR, May 6 - Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu has greeted the people of the State on the occasion of Buddha Purnima, which will be observed tomorrow.
A devout Buddhist himself, Khandu said Buddha Jayanti is an important day in the lives of Buddhists, but Buddha Purnima holds specific importance as it falls on a full moon day considered truly holy.
He called upon the people, irrespective of their religious affiliations, to take time out to reflect on Lord Buddha�s teachings of compassion, peace and honesty � the virtues that are losing out to modern day�s materialistic cravings.
Khandu appealed to all to follow the guidelines circulated by the Health Department and be safe by maintaining social distancing and following safety protocols.
