Converting to Buddhism as a Form of Political Protest SHIRASGAON, India—More than 500 low-caste Hindus filled the Veera Maidan, an open field at the edge of a dusty Maharashtra village, on a recent Sunday night. Neighbors openly gawked from porches as the throngs of people filed in, many dressed in symbolic white saris and kurtas. Under floodlights, they chanted: “I shall have no faith in Rama and Krishna who are believed to be incarnations of God nor shall I worship them. … I do not and shall not believe that Lord Buddha was the incarnation of Vishnu. … I shall hereafter lead my life according to the principles and teachings of the Buddha.” Instantly, there were 500 new Buddhists in India. The converts had been Dalits, those from India’s lowest Hindu castes, formerly known as “ Buddhism Shirts .” They joined Ambedkarite Buddhism, a movement founded a half-century ago by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a Columbia University-educated lawyer who drafted India’s constitution. Ambedkar was bo

Cats Vs. Dogs – Who’s Liked More A recent Associated Press poll reveals that more people like dogs than like cats.  In a survey of just under 2000 people, 59% of who were pet owners (mostly of dogs or cats) 74% said they liked dogs “a lot” but only 41% said the same thing about cats .  Only 2% said they disliked dogs “a lot”, but 15% feel that way about cats. The people surveyed explained their opinions with comments such as dogs are more loyal, cats only care about themselves, dogs want to please their owners, and cats are “1,000 times” smarter than dogs. What might be some reasons for this difference between our perceptions of dogs versus cats?  There are many possibilities. Looking at the domestication history of the two species, the latest thinking is that dogs were for the most part wanted for companionship (less likely as a cooperative hunting partner as had been previously thought).  After an initial stage of being a religious symbol and appreciated for their predatory

When is Mother’s Day 2018 and what is Mothering Sunday? Mother’s Day is an annual celebration of motherhood and a day on which mother figures are honoured around the world, most commonly marked in March or May. The day is referred to as Mothering Sunday in the UK and falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent but in other countries like the United States, the holiday has less of a religious observance and has been criticised for being too commercial. Mothers are usually given gifts and are treated to lunch or a fun outing. Special Mother’s Day cakes can also be bought and schools usually encourage children to make handmade cards for the mother figures in their lives. What is Mothering Sunday? Mothering Sunday is a Catholic and Protestant holiday and is celebrated on Laetare Sunday, the fourth Sunday of Lent, usually three weeks before Easter Sunday. In the 16th century, people would visit their ‘mother’ church, the church where they were baptised or their local church, on Laetare

When Is Mother’s Day 2018? When Is Mother’s Day 2018! When Is Mother’s Day 2018 The holiday will take place on Sunday, May 13 this year, honoring the women who have given their lives for us. The U.S. iteration of the holiday has its origins after the Civil War when women’s peace groups got together in order to bring forth peace with the establishment of holidays. In 1868, Ann Jarvis, mother of Anna Jarvis, developed ‘ Mothers Friendship’s Day’ along with a committee in order to bring families together after they had been separated by the Civil War. Her daughter would push her agenda forward over the years in honor of the legacy she was leaving behind. Over the next few decades, the holiday was not an official one but there were small celebrations of it. However, Ann Jarvis died on May 9, 1905, prompting Anna Jarvis to establish Mother’s Day along with the help of Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker. When Is Mother’s Day 2018 A small service honoring Mother’s Day took pl

Thailand's Buddhism chief removed after pressure from religious groups Thailand’s junta has removed the head of the national   Buddhism   office, the prime minister said on Tuesday, after religious groups called on the government to sack him over his plans to clean up scandal-hit monasteries. Pongporn Pramsaneh, who joined the National Office of Buddhism  in February, had vowed to reform Thailand’s more than 40,000 temples by forcing them to open their finances to the public. They take billions of dollars in donations every year.   The former policeman was appointed amid a standoff between security forces and the influential Dhammakaya temple in February. Authorities wanted to question the temple’s chief abbot on money-laundering charges.   Pongporn will now move to a lower profile post of inspector-general in Prayuth’s office. Despite high-profile temple scandals over murder, drugs and sex as well as improper financial dealings, Pongporn’s call for change had jarre
