Ambedkarite Budhists are getting too much confused about Budha’s doctrines. They don’t want to study hard and deep. Without a scientific study of Budha’s doctrines, they speak and write what is said in the tripitik or by modern unscientific writers. There are only two books which are written scientifically: (1) The Essence of Buddhism, by P. Laxmi Narasu and (2) Buddha & His Dhamma, by Babasaheb Ambedkar. We have to understand Budhism from Ambedkarite spirit. Otherwise it cannot solve the problems of Bahujan Samaj- the persecuted class.
The law of dependent origination (anicca/shoonyavad! partyutya-samutpadicause & effects) is scientifically true but its explanation in 12 nidans (agyan to Jatijaramaran) by A to Z authors and preachers except Babasaheb is totally wrong and unscientific.
Budha had given the correct analysis of class struggle. Babasaheb wanted to tackle this class struggle by implementing Budhist communism.
Our enemy is Brahminism: But Brother Premjit Ray leaving aside (defending) Brahminism and capitalism the enemy of Bahujans enemy”. Ray said: said “ignorance is the
The enemy is ignorance. Out of ignorance, arise the anger, jealousy, hatred and greed. These are the causes of suffering. When Budha spoke about suffering, he spoke in a true sense, but when you speak of suffering you are attaching it to material gains. (DV Dec. 16, 2008, p.9).
Are the Brahmins and their media ignorant? The Brahminical media, caste system and their intellectual corruption are the main causes of our sufferings and the only remedy is our anger and hatred against our enemy oppressors.
Babasaheb said:
I hate injustice, tyranny and humbug, and my hatred embraces all those who are guilty of them. I want to tell my critics that I regard my feelings of hatred as a real force. They are only the reflex of the love I bear for the causes I believe in and I am in no way ashamed of it. (Preface to Ranade, Gandhi & Jinnah).
Babasaheb’s meditation: S.N. Goenka says that Vipassana is vedic. Ram Awtar Ram says that Vipassana is the real Budhism but Dr. Ray says Vipassana itself is not Budhism and yet he defends it. The confusion arises by not understanding the true meaning of enlightenment and meditation. Babasaheb did exercise and liked meditation in the morning for the sake of his health but nor for getting knowledge. Today, the whole leisured “reserved class” is rushing
towards yoga or meditation for their sound health. We have no objection for this. Meditation is a relaxation therapy to stop thinking and tension. So Babasaheb probably used it for a moment to rest his mind. He never got vast knowledge and enlightenment through meditation but by continuous 18-hour reading and study. A single-point Vipassana leads to hypnotic experience. The thoughtless, sensationless, knowledgeless state of mind is transcendental nonsense. Goenka wants us to stop thinking on problems but Babasaheb wants us to study deep with highest pragya on the problems and fight unto death to solve them
We reject Vipassana only for this reason. When you don’t want to think over the problems of our 40-crore brothers, you have no right to call yourself Budhist or Ambedkarite. Budhism is not in the statue of Budha/Ambedkar or in their prayers or in meditation. It generates from knowledge, actions and by removing the evils. Budhism is a revolutionary movement.
