Janak Raj Sharma

Dharma Ratna Yami is the kind of personality who feels familiar even to those who do not know him personally. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the credit for introducing him to the world goes to Mahapandit Rahul Sankrityayan. This is because Rahul captured Dharma Ratna in many pages of his travel literature, through which many intellectuals came to know him.

Why Janak Lal Sharma highlights this:

When Sharma writes that Dharma Ratna Yami "baked many papads" (struggled immensely) in trade, he’s indirectly referencing these hardships. Yami risked his business reputation.He wasn't just a "translator"; he was a clandestine operative for human history.

बुद्ध कुनै प्रकृति, कमजोर र डराउने इच्छाको पूरा गरी दिने दिमागी देवता होइनन्। बुद्ध कुनै सुखमयी अथवा भक्तवत्सल भगवानलाई मन पराउने पापीलाई छुटो छुट्टै दिने देवता पनि होइनन्। बुद्ध कुनै देवता मात्र होइनन्, बुद्ध भनेका देहमा रहने प्रज्ञा र ज्ञानको स्वरूप हुन्।

बुद्धत्व प्राप्त गर्नका लागि मानिसले आफ्नो मनलाई शुद्ध पार्नुपर्छ। लोभ, क्रोध, मोह, अहंकार आदि दुर्गुणहरूलाई त्याग्नुपर्छ।

बुद्धले मानिसलाई दुःखबाट मुक्ति पाउने मार्ग देखाएका छन्। सत्य, अहिंसा, करुणा र मैत्री भाव अपनाएर मात्र मानिसले शान्ति प्राप्त गर्न सक्छ।

Today, although we no longer possess the conscious physical body of the Buddha in this world, we have received the 'Mahayana' (the Great Path) that he taught. Through this path, we can move forward and engage with any progressive ideology in the world. Buddhism does not hinder the world’s progress; instead, it has done much to provide courage and assistance in advancing the world's movement and will always remain a helper.
