THE MOST VALUABLE THING IN THE WORLD The most rare and wonderful event occurred two thousand, six hundred years back down the road of history, the emergence of the wisest sage, the mighty Supreme Buddha. In the same era, there was an unquenched thirst among humans to find the truth of life and in order to find or achieve that, they practiced various methods. However, such earnest people were fortunate enough to be illuminated by the supreme wisdom of the Gautama Buddha. Supreme Buddha went looking for them and showed them the hidden truth of life in a unique way that no one had ever come across. It was the astonishing and ultimate truth that the Buddha discovered. Once they heard the Buddha’s wonderful words, they became the sages of that time, bringing the ‘Golden Era’ to India. With the teachings of the Buddha, the people freed themselves from ongoing misery, anxiety, agony, emptiness, and grief. .
