You have rightly told Brother Vivek Shetty on Vipassana that:
“Neither Budha nor Dr. Ambedkar had ever recommended meditation. Because it kills the anger. We are not opposed to Hindus doing Vipassana. Our objection is to Goenka meddling with our people. We are not speaking from the Hindu angle”. (DV July 1, 2004, p.21).
Advocates of Vipassana praise its normal meditation aspect without considering on its impact on Dalits. The whole of Tripitak is about meditation (dhyan) and the intention is to kill anger. Nobody could find its secret meaning except Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Budhists of all countries are wandering between meditation and Buddhatva, forgetting the basic problems of the oppressed people.
Why not even a single practitioner achieved Buddhatva after the Budha? Why the practitioners reached vajrayan and tantrayan and there by killed Budhism ? Dhyan and Vipassana are a purely vaidik therapy, but Goenka’s Vipassana are based on Jaini’s ideology which is not Budha’s Samma Samadhi of Astang Marg (DV Jan.1, 2003 p.5: “Beware of Goenka’s tricks “).
Those who wants to understand real Budhism must read my detailed article about Karmavad and rebirth in DV Hindustani, July 2004. The address: A-8/3, SFS Flat, Saket, New Delhi – 110017. Yearly Rs. 20 only.
