Dharma Ratna Yami’s 1950s Reflection on Buddhism and Social Thought
In this historical Nepal Bhasa message, Deputy Minister Dharma Ratna Yami highlights Buddhism as a uniquely progressive and free-thinking world philosophy—one unburdened by rigid scripture, dogma, gender, or caste hierarchies. He emphasizes that Buddhism's focus on intellectual freedom and social equality allows it to align with modern progressive thought. By advancing Buddhist principles of peace and social justice, society can foster human progress and well-being, and he calls on Buddhist publications to remain steadfast in spreading these truth-based values.
