The eagerly awaited Complete Works of Sangharakshita begins with
Volume 9 on Dr Ambedkar and the revival of Buddhism. One of the
most far-reaching of Sangharakshita's contributions to modern
Buddhism was giving shape to the Buddhist conversion movement begun
by the great Indian statesman and reformer, Dr B.R. Ambedkar. In
1956, along with hundreds of thousands of his followers, Ambedkar
renounced the Hindu caste system - according to which they were
condemned to be 'untouchable' - and converted to Buddhism, thus
beginning a new life.The first part of this volume tells the story
of how Ambedkar overcame the suffering and struggle of his early
years to become the shaper of the Indian constitution and the
leader of his people to a new life; and how, following Ambedkar's
untimely death, Sangharakshita took on the challenge of teaching
Buddhism to the new community of Buddhists.The second part is a
collection of 36 edited talks, many published here for the first
time, from Sangharakshita's tour of the Buddhist communities in
India in 1981-2. Wherever and in whatever circumstances you live,
there is much here to bring new life and depth to your Buddhist
practice.
