Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, on 31st May, 1936, in his address to a public meeting at Dadar (Bombay) on the subject of “why go for conversion?” said, “I should like to impress this thing on your minds very clearly that religion is for man and not man for religion. If you want to organize yourself, change your religion. If you want to gain self respect change your religion. If you want to create a society which ensures cooperation, and brotherhood change your religion. If you want to achieve power, change your religion. If you want equality, change your religion. If you want independence, change your religion. If you want to make this world happy in which you live, change your religion.” On 14th October, 1956 after converting to Buddhism at Nagpur Dr. Ambedkar remarked,” Today I have got a new birth.”
Now let us see as to what extent the objectives and gains of Buddhist conversion as outlined by Dr. Ambedkar have been achieved or have accrued to the new converts known as Neo Buddhists. First of all it will be proper to see the strength of the Buddhists gained so far.

My visit to Nagaloka, Nagpur.

What can I say, Agony & Ecstacy!

The purpose of the visit was to see Diksha Bhumi, where on October 14th in 1956 Dr. Ambedkar and his followers (often referred to as Dalits) converted to Buddhism on Vijayadashmi day, and to attend the two day retreat (10th and 11th) by ven. Thich Nhat Hanh (Thai). Many of us are aware of his history – a Vietnamese monk asked to leave his country when he refused to take sides, either with south or north Viet Nam; has been living in Plum Village, France. He was accompanied by monks and nuns from different parts of the world.

Having nothing much to say about the retreat, I shall give my impressions on Nagaloka – a learning institute started by TBMSG under the guidance of Dhammachari Lokamitra.

Patience of Non-Production Meditation: Awakening to the Buddha – Mind

The Patience of Non-Production is simply the Buddha-Mind. It is the mind where that which is said to arise isn’t said at all. There is no chasing of thoughts, desires and emotions, and no not chasing of thoughts, desires and emotions. That which was said to arise due to causes and conditions, does not arise due to causes and conditions, and does not not arise due to causes and conditions.

It is a state where there is the ending of patience, and there is no not ending of patience. Though patience is the means in which one endures, there is no enduring and no not enduring in the state of the Patience of Non-Production.

It is said to be a state due to the obstructions of living being’s minds, yet once the obstructions are put down, this state is no longer a state, but only the true mind. In such, there is no distinction of true and false, and there is no ending of the state of the distinction of true and false.

Patience is non-discrimination. Non-Production is the non-Dual Thus-Nature. It’s the realization that all things are only said to arise, yet though living beings find a function for them, it is still not the true function of that which is said to arise.

Since living beings are so deluded as to not understand what arises, they conclude that all which is experienced is just the way of the world. They fail to realize that the way of the world is simply their views.
