Ambedkar and Buddhism

by Sangharakshita

Ambedkar and Buddhism cover imageThis is the remarkable and stirring story of India's first Law Minister, Dr B.R. Ambedkar. In 1956, Dr Ambedkar started the most important social revolution occurring in India today: the conversion from Hinduism to Buddhism of millions of Indians wishing to escape the degradation of the caste system. Born into the community formerly known as 'Untouchable', his entire career was to become an outright challenge to the beliefs and conventions of his society.

Sangharakshita knew Ambedkar personally, and himself played an important part in the mass conversion movement that Ambedkar set in motion.

bookstorebuddha Believe nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide.

The Buddha
