How do Buddhist ideals still affect our life?
What impact did Buddha’s teachings have on Mahatma Gandhi’s thoughts?

उत्तर
The Buddhist ideals even today have a significant place in our life. The principles of equality, teachings of non-violence, and individual purification are still working as usual. Evils, such as pride, envy, wrath, and lust have no place in our life even today.
Mahatma Gandhi took a leaf from the Buddha’s life when he said, “non-violence is the first article of my faith.” He also said, “religion in the sense of peace, fraternity and all-embracing love can alone be the basis of the existence of the world.”
