India’s Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, addressed the International Abhidhamma Divas ceremony at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi today, commemorating Lord Buddha’s teachings and the recent recognition of Pali as a classical language by the Government of India.
The Prime Minister expressed his happiness, noting that this year’s Abhidhamma Divas is special as Pali, the language in which Lord Buddha gave his sermons, has been recognized and accorded the status of a classical language by the Government of India this month.
