Udaipur, November 12, 2026 (Udaipur Kiran): A motivational discourse on the life, enlightenment and teachings of Lord Buddha was delivered during the ‘Apnon Se Apni Baat’ programme organised under the guidance of Narayan Seva Sansthan President Prashant Agarwal.

Agarwal said that balance is the foundation of happiness and peace in life. “The strings of life should neither be too tight nor so loose that their melody is lost,” he said, explaining that Lord Buddha’s Middle Path teaches people the importance of maintaining balance in life.

Buddha’s Teachings on the Middle Path

Agarwal explained that after attaining enlightenment through intense meditation, Lord Buddha resolved to share his experiences with people for the welfare of humanity.

Using the example of lotus flowers, he explained that people have different levels of understanding and can be guided towards the truth through appropriate guidance.

Lord Buddha then delivered his first sermon to his five former ascetic companions at the Deer Park in Sarnath. This event is known as Dharmachakra Pravartana, or the turning of the Wheel of Dharma.

Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path Explained

Agarwal discussed Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. He encouraged people to adopt its eight principles in their daily lives: right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.

Referring to the story of a wealthy young man named Yash, he explained that true happiness does not lie in material wealth and luxury but in self-realisation and a commitment to the welfare of others.

He also recalled how Buddha inspired his disciples to travel in different directions and spread the message of humanity and public welfare.

A large number of devotees attended the programme. On the occasion, the organisers also interacted with persons with disabilities and listened to their questions and concerns.
