This Day That Age
"In this age of storm and strife, hatred and violence, the message of the Buddha shines like a radiant sun," observes Prime Minister Nehru, in a message read by the Indian High Commissioner, Mr. C.C. Desai, at the 2,500th anniversary celebrations of the birth of Lord Buddha at Independence Square in Colombo on October 12. Mr. Nehru said: "Perhaps, at no time was that message more needed than in the world of atomic and hydrogen bomb. Two thousand five hundred years have only added to the vitality and truth of that message. So, on this memorable occasion, while we pay homage to the Buddha, let us remember that immortal message and try to fashion our thoughts and actions in the light of that teaching so that we may face with equanimity even the terrors of the atomic bomb age and help a little in promoting right thinking and right action." The celebrations were inaugurated by Sri John Kotelawala, Ceylon Prime Minister.
