Book Description: 

Namo Buddhaya! Jay Bhim! Discover the final message and the greatest creation of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar: The Buddha and His Dhamma. This is not just a book; it is the cornerstone of modern Buddhist thought and a guide for the liberation of the Bahujan people. This is the Saddhamma—the true Dhamma—as envisioned by Babasaheb himself.

At Blue Buddha Publication, we consider this book a sacred text for our movement. It is the rational and revolutionary path away from the chains of religion and towards the light of Dhamma.

Why This is Babasaheb's Most Important Book:

From Man to Buddha: Journey with Siddhartha Gautama from his birth and renunciation (Parivraja) to his search for new light and ultimate enlightenment. Understand how a Bodhisatta became the Buddha.

The Campaign of Conversion: Witness the Buddha's mission as he converts everyone—from the high and holy to the low and lowly. See how the Dhamma opened its doors for women, the fallen, and the criminals, proving its revolutionary equality.

What is Dhamma vs. What is Religion: Babasaheb makes a powerful distinction between Dhamma and Religion. This book explains what Dhamma is, what it is not (Adhamma), and what the Saddhamma (True Dhamma) is. It is a blueprint for a moral and rational way of life.

A Guide for the Sangh: Explore the Buddha's vision for the Bhikkhu and the Laity. This book outlines the duties of the Sangh and the Vinaya (rules) for everyone, creating a community based on equality and compassion.

The Final Journey: Follow the Buddha on his last journey, his final moments, and understand the powerful personality and deep humanity of the man who was Siddhartha Gautam.

Babasaheb Ambedkar did not just write about the Buddha; he presented a new way forward. This book contrasts the Buddha with his predecessors and contemporaries and shows why the Dhamma is a unique path to end suffering.

This is the final testament of Vishwaratna Dr. Ambedkar. Buy this essential Bahujan literature today and walk the path of the Buddha. Jay Bhim!
