Abstract: The world has faced several challenges since January 2020 when the World Health Organization has declared it pandemic. The continuous three years of turmoil made life full of horrors for each individual throughout the world. All the religious populations are far away from the pre-corona situation. A tremendous current of death rallies makes the eight billion world population full of despair and sorrow. International cooperation with an all-around support system was the teachings of Buddha for the last two thousand five hundred years. The preaching of Buddha’s religion was always in favor of the best human societies that lead to winning the sorrow of an individual. Buddha’s educational thought was to lead a peaceful life by overcoming the sorrows of each individual. He preached four noble truths and eight paths for all human beings. Buddhist Education aims to change an unwise to wise, beast hood to Buddha hood. Present educational thought in India and the world is very much relevant to overcome the battle among the nations which is only possible through Lord Buddha’s teaching.
Keywords: Educational thoughts, Buddha’s teaching, Analytical study.
