BUDDHISM AND HARMLESSNESS 175
Buddhism is the noblest of all unifying and uplifting influences that
has operated for more than 2500 years.
Nations have come and gone. Empires built on might and force have
flourished and perished. But the Dhamma empire of the Buddha,
founded on love and reason, still flourishes and will continue to flourish
as long as its followers adhere to its noble principles.
