Navayana Buddhism Explained — A Modern Buddhist Revolution

Описание: Explore Navayana Buddhism, a revolutionary form of Buddhism founded by B.R. Ambedkar that rejects karma, rebirth, and monastic hierarchies, focusing instead on social equality and political liberation. In this video, we compare Navayana to traditional Buddhist schools (Theravada, Mahayana, Vajrayana), examine its core principles, and discuss how Buddhist concepts like "Upadana" (attachment) apply to political suffering. Join the conversation on identity, activism, and the future of Engaged Buddhism.
