Dr Ambedkar and His Importance For the Future of Buddhism

From India Dhamma Trust: "At the heart of a peaceful Dhamma Revolution" on Sun, 20 Mar, 2016 - 17:24

The talk was given at a retreat at Rivendell for young people comparing the teachings of Dr Ambedkar and Sangharakshita. Those on the retreat were asked to read Buddha and the Future of His Religion and Blueprint for a New world in preparation.
