One Day Sit: Dhamma of Love and Justice, Practicing with B.R. Ambedkar as Engaged Buddhists Today

B.R. Ambedkar, the Indian jurist and civil rights leader, converted to Buddhism in 1956 as an act of political resistance—a deliberate choice to join a tradition he saw as fundamentally egalitarian. This day-long sit takes his vision as its foundation, exploring what engaged Buddhist practice means when rooted in his insistence that Buddhism must serve justice and liberation, not personal transcendence alone.

Maitriveer Nagarjuna, a Dhamma teacher and scholar, leads the day. The format is straightforward: sitting periods, walking meditation, a dharma talk, and group reflection—space to sit together and then discuss how Ambedkar's approach speaks to Buddhist practice today, particularly for practitioners concerned with social and political dimensions of the path.
