Transcending Barriers:
Dr Ambedkar and the Buddhist World
9-16 October 2005
International Network of Engaged Buddhists at Nagaloka, Nagpur, Maharashtra, India
This conference is to encourage understanding and communication between the Buddhist followers of Dr Ambedkar and the international community.
Dr Ambedkar saw Buddhism as a means of bringing about social change based on individual practice and service to society. The world community has much to gain from understanding the life and approach of Dr Ambedkar, in his conviction that Buddhism could bring about social revolution. |
