Gandhi with the Buddha

Gandhi and Buddha both emphasized inner peace, compassion, and non-violence, guiding people toward moral and spiritual growth. Buddha taught about understanding suffering and nurturing mindfulness to achieve enlightenment and liberation from desires. Gandhi adopted these principles, applying non-violent resistance to social injustices and oppression, inspired by the Buddha’s emphasis on compassion and inner strength. Both figures highlight the power of peaceful action, self-awareness, and ethical conduct to foster personal well-being and societal harmony. Their teachings encourage us to seek inner peace while promoting kindness and justice in the world.
