The book, Dhamma Bar and Dhamma Charya by S. Krishna, Additional Commissioner, Income Tax, Bombay, has shocked me particularly its contents on Vipassana mediation.
When “Vipassana is a Hindu poison meant to kill Budhism” (DV June 1, 2001 p.9) how this book can provide solution to the problems of the poor, persecuted Budhists? Having had rich experience about dhyan/Vipassana of many sects and Acharyas, Brother Krishna has not contributed any article about Vipassana to DV when there is a serious Debate going on this subject. Meditation of Anand Margis and Kabir Panthis also is nothing but brahminical exploitation of mind and hallucination. The Anand Marg theory of Ishwara Pranidhana and microvitum (origin of life) is anti-scientific and mischievous. All the superstitions are found in the Anand Marg. It is Brahminism in disguise like the Indian brand of marxism.
How did Krishna say that Budha believed that only happy persons could make a happy world? (DV Jan.1, 2002 p.23 and Feb.1, 2002 p.20). Vipassanwadis (even Brahmins and White rulers) probably are all happy people. Are they striving to solve the problems of the persecuted nationalities of India and making this a happy world?
A satisfied or happy person will never suffer himself and launch a revolution/agitation to bring happiness and well being to the suffering masses. Prof. N.K. Ken, Editor, Dhamma Darshan, Ambedkar Bhavan, Delhi, says a happy and satisfied person always stays away from all agitation but it is the dissatisfied class, if properly guided, that can bring about a revolution that results in social change and end of exploitation.
Budha himself said that nibban is paramsukh (happiness). Yet to serve and uplift the suffering and the persecuted society is the greatest happiness, more than nibban.
Annihilate enemies: Budha’s principle of vairani na vairechi (evils does not annihilate evils) is not correctly ana perfectly interpreted.
Babasaheb said ahimsa had two sides. First is love to all creatures and second annihilate all enemies/ evils. Did the persecuted people find their enemies? If so, what are they doing to annihilate their enemies/ evils?
There is no wonder when 1 lakh copies of S. Krishna’s book were sold in a day. That does not mean that 1 lakh persons have purchased this books. One BSP worker told me at Chaitya Bhoomi, Bombay, that some Brahminical money-bags used to purchase Babasaheb’s and Budhist books in bulk and then burn them so that this literature did not reach the common people. This is the usual brahminical strategy.
Corrupt Bhikkus: In Chandrapur dt., many brahminical Budhists openly criticised the Buddha & His Dhamma of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and started a movement against it. There are many Bhikku Sanghas in India fighting each other. Every political party misuses the Bhikkus for their selfish ends. Many Bhikkus have not only become corrupt but they have lost even morality. How can they set an ideal and become useful to the society?
Bhadant Sadanand Mahathera, president of AIBS, I said all this with deep pain.
L.R. Bailey’s warning: Dr. Yashawant Manohar said those who did not teach real Ambedkrism/Budhism to I the people but use it for business were the biggest I enemies of Ambedkarism/Budhist.
Venerable L.R. Bailey in an Editorial says: The Budhist t movement in Maharashtra is going into foreign hands. It is neglecting the burning problems of Ambedkarites/ Budhists. He warned the vipassanawadis that one may use Vipassana for self control if necessary but they should not believe that it will bring social change. Suffering masses can get relief only through the Ambedkar way”. (Bheem Patrika, Jalandhar, Dec. 2001).
Babasaheb Ambedkar’s dream was that (1) we the persecuted Bahujan must be the ruling class of India.
(2) Whole India must be converted to Budhism. Babasaheb said the Brahmin would corrupt the mind and Bania would corrupt the body and their combination/caste society would manufacture the slaves. When these slaves fall prey to intellectual corruption and media corruption (according to our Editor) how they (Bahujan) can fulfil Babasaheb’s dream?
If this disaster on Budhism is not stopped and corrected by effective strategies, all the virtues of Budhism will have no value.
