He delivered several discourses to the people of these countries and also cleared several of their queries related to Buddhism.Present situation of BuddhismMahathera said, presently there are two types of Buddhism practices in the world, which are Mahayana and Theravada Buddhism. The basic concepts of both of these sects are similar but both have cultural differences. In whichever country, Buddhism has gone, it was assimilated with the local culture of the people.His visionThe basic theory of Buddhism is to free mankind from ‘Sorrows’ (Dukha). It teaches human beings to discard Mithya (false) life and live a Satya (truthful) life. It can be achieved by assimilating Panchsheel into the lives of the people. Panchsheel should be followed by everyone. Once, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said that if Panchsheel is followed by everyone, there will be no need to establish Army and Police force. The huge money spent by these departments can be utilized for the welfare of the Mankind.Dr Ambedkar is a saviour of downtrodden peopleThe Mahathera mentioned that Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar was born to make the people free from the Dukha (Sorrows). He is a saviour of downtrodden people. Although he never had the opportunity to meet him personally, the Mahathera said, he always used to read his books and the news appeared in the newspapers about him. He studied various religions and finally chose to embrace Buddhism and his followers also accepted it.
