Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Buddha says that each person is his own master, he promulgates a principle whose applicability becomes stronger as man begins to get more and more confidence in the control of himself and the environment. So if, today, with scientific and technological development, man feels that he has come to a point where his own intellect makes him superior to anybody else or allows him able to solve any problem that he has, whether physical or ethical or political or whatever, would not the principle that man is the master of himself that he has to be responsible to himself because whatever he does he inherits become one of the most important ways of looking at himself. Another important aspect of Buddha’s teachings is meditation. Meditations in Buddhism are of many types and names (Sati, Samadhi, Samata, Vipassana, Metta etc.). As truly described in Dr. Ambedkar’s The Buddha and His Dhamma, Dhamma to many people is only meditation, and is only the teaching of Buddha, but this is not so. In reality, they are all just tools to further strengthen practice of Dhamma (to become righteous) in little more depth. But these cannot be taken as the final teaching of Buddha. Every individual has a liberty of choice to follow a certain way to apply those teachings in his life. Because the ultimate goal for Buddhism is to free people from all the bondages setbacks sorrows of life and have Liberty, Equality and Fraternity in Society.
