I was shocked when a Budhist monk from Delhi asked me to oppose the Oct.14 conversion in Delhi. In Agra also a bhikku from Gaya asked me to oppose the same. ‘Even the UP-state president of the Bharatiya Boudha Mahasabha is not helping Ram Raj. What a shame these fake Budhists, who are a burden and pest on the community are opposing the good work of Ram Raj.
Tej Singh of BSS is also opposing Ram Raj. When Budhists are opposing Budhism what future will be there for Budhism in India? Dog eating dog.
Vipassana poison: Dr. Ambedkar embraced Budhism and the Mahars joined this movement. Because of this, non-Mahar Dalit subcastes refused to join the “Mahar Budhism”.
Ram Raj must choose at least 1,000 dedicated Budhist missionaries out of the 1 million converts and run the Budhist movement throughout India as outlined in the Buddha & His Dhamma. No compromise:
Many bhikkus who have no knowledge of Budhism and those who have are proud, egoistic, mixing the meditation poison in the name of Vipassana. Prof. Tulshiram, InCharge of Pali Sahitya Academy at JNU, Delhi, and the chief editor of the Ashwaghosh Patrika (now closed), is an admirer of Goenka’s Hindu Vipassana.
Intellectual poverty: Goenka himself said at a Nagpur Diksha Boomi conference of Budhists that Vipassana is a vedic method. But the Budhists accepted it as Budhist. I wrote two scientific articles in Hindi on meditation Vipassana exposing its brahmanvadi poison. Except DV and Bhim Patrika (Jalandhar) and the Ambedkar Mission Patrika, Patna, etc. all other Dalit/Budhist journals are spreading the Vipassana poison. There is an appalling intellectual poverty in Dalit-Bahujan journalism.
Cultural revolution means not merely building statues and vihars of Babasaheb and Budha. How only a few castes out of the 6,000 castes among SC/ST/BCs are accepting Budhism while others have rejected it?
