The short clip was widely appreciated and extensively shared across various social media platforms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social Media Posts :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This video was shared alongside numerous hashtags related to Buddhism and titles such as \u2018Bollywood Superstars&#8217; Messages for the Great Vesak Festival&#8217;, features Bollywood film superstars Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Alia Bhatt, Kangana Ranaut, and Sonam Kapoor. They purportedly recite various teachings of Lord Buddha in honor of Vesak. You can watch the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe frameBorder='0' width='640' height='360' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen src=\"https:\/\/www.awesomescreenshot.com\/embed?id=28118446&#038;shareKey=c9a6d090c2b848fd1e24632acb841088\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/100072285998810\/videos\/789254686650355\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided to investigate whether these quotes are genuinely attributed to Lord Buddha and whether this video was created explicitly for the Vesak festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fact-Check:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon examining these statements on the Internet, we discovered that while Lord Buddha preached many similar ideas, however, the specific statements mentioned by the Bollywood stars were actually made by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, renowned as the father of India&#8217;s freedom struggle and nicknamed the father of non-violence. So, it was Mahatma Gandhi who made these statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The above statement, \u201cI object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.\u201d A statement made by Mahatma Gandhi. A UN report published in this regard is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/sg\/en\/content\/sg\/speeches\/2013-10-02\/remarks-international-day-non-violence\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second statement, \u201cThe weak can never forgive. <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/readersblog\/zafarreads\/embracing-forgiveness-25820\/\">Here<\/a> is the Times of India news article that confirms that forgiveness is the attribute of the strong,\u201d was made by Mahatma Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third statement, &#8220;The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others,&#8221; is also in the Times of India news report published by Mahatma Gandhi <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/readersblog\/civil-services-preparation\/the-best-way-to-find-yourself-is-to-lose-yourself-in-service-of-others-29813\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fourth statement, &#8220;I am prepared to die, but there is no cause for which I am prepared to kill&#8221;, is also a statement of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/mahatma_gandhi_106148https:\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/mahatma_gandhi_106148https:\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/mahatma_gandhi_106148https:\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/mahatma_gandhi_106148\">Mahatma Gandhi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/50584-your-beliefs-become-your-thoughts-your-thoughts-become-your-words\">these<\/a> confirm that the saying, &#8220;A man is but the product of his thoughts; what he thinks, he becomes,&#8221; is indeed attributed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brainyquote.com\/quotes\/mahatma_gandhi_125863\">Mahatma Gandhi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.&#8221; Mahatma Gandhi also made this statement as the sixth point above. A related report can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/quotes\/2658-happiness-is-when-what-you-think-what-you-say-and\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/mhof.net\/2022\/03\/14\/happiness-is-when-what-you-think-what-you-say-and-what-you-do-are-in-harmony-mahatma-gandhi\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seventh statement above, \u201cYou must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; &#8220;if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty&#8221; is also a statement of Mahatma Gandhi. Reports on that are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/quotes\/6248\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/quotes\/6248\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, it is evident that Lord Gautama Buddha did not make the statements mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our examination of the video revealed that it is not a Vesak video from this year. Instead, it is a two-minute reflection on Mahatma Gandhi&#8217;s teachings, produced and directed by Rajkumar Hirani. This video, featuring major Bollywood stars, was created to pay tribute to Mahatma Gandhi on his 150th anniversary in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"150 Years Of Celebrating The Mahatma (English) | Rajkumar Hirani\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SLWOMrBHTsY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video in Hindi can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6D1xDZ8vTRE\">here<\/a>. Additionally, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p00VEQvr3Po\">here<\/a> is a clip from when the local media reported on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the original video lacks an image of Lord Buddha in its background. However, the version circulated on social media within our country prominently features an image of Buddha. It&#8217;s evident that the version including Buddha was deliberately edited to deceive society, masquerading as Vesak messages from Bollywood actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us and stay up to date with our latest fact-checks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/factcrescendosl\/\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/factcrescendosl\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/factcrescendo_sl\/\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/publications\/CAAqBwgKMODMpgswyNe-Aw\">Google News<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@factcrescendosl\">TikTok<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/K4r6Egv9ZhC221z1bD3jn0\">WhatsApp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video shared on social media, purportedly featuring messages from Bollywood stars for this year&#8217;s Vesak festival, is misleading. In truth, it is a clip from a video production commemorating Mahatma Gandhi&#8217;s 150th anniversary in 2019. Furthermore, while these messages are presented as Lord Buddha&#8217;s teachings in our country&#8217;s circulated video, they are, in fact, statements made by Mahatma Gandhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<html>\n\t\t\t\t\t<head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t\t\t.container {\n\t\t\t\t\t  border: 2px solid #000;\n\t\t\t\t\t  background-color: #eee;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 5px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  padding: 16px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin: 16px 0\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container::after {\n\t\t\t\t\t  content: \"\";\n\t\t\t\t\t  clear: both;\n\t\t\t\t\t  display: table;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t  float: left;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  border-radius: 50%;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t.container span {\n\t\t\t\t\t  font-size: 20px;\n\t\t\t\t\t  margin-right: 15px;\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t\t\t@media (max-width: 500px) {\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  text-align: center;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t  .container img {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin: auto;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  float: none;\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  display: block;\n\t\t\t\t\t  }\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/head>\n\t\t\t\t\t<body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/False.png\" alt=\"Avatar\" style=\"width:120px\">\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><span>Title:<\/span>This is NOT a video created by Bollywood superstars for Vesak!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <strong>Written By:&nbsp;<a href=\"info@factcrescendo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pavithra Sandamali<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t\t  <p><strong>Result:<\/strong> False <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/body>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/html>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?phone=94771514696&#038;text=Please%20send%20your%20query:%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2481\" src=\"http:\/\/srilanka.factcrescendo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Whats-app-sri-lanka-new.png\" alt=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Subscribe to our WhatsApp Channel A video featuring prominent Indian actors and actresses conveying the teachings of Lord Buddha captivated the hearts of many Sri Lankans during recent Vesak Poya celebrations.
