Buddhism can show the world how to counter sectarianism: Murmu

At a time when the world is facing an existential crisis on many fronts, including strife and climate change, various schools of Buddhism can show how to counter “narrow sectarianism”, President Droupadi Murmu said on Tuesday, adding that the central message of these schools remains focused on peace and non-violence.

Inaugurating the first Asian Buddhist Summit in New Delhi, Ms. Murmu said there was a need to discuss the role of Buddha Dharma (religion) in strengthening Asia.
