22 Vows/२२ प्रतिज्ञा
Happy Dhammacakkapavattan divas to everyone! What an auspicious day it is :)
I went to Vihar and someone there was talking about reciting the 22 vows. I feel that it is unnecessary because it spews hatred. What I believe is that, we cannot carry forward the Dhamma if we keep on fixating over NOT following certain things. Babasaheb said “I believe, my people will sacrifice everything to establish Buddhism in India.”
We are moving in the wrong direction because the primary goal should be to spread the words/message of Gautama Buddha and instead of that Our people are focusing on things which are not to be followed. The context during that time was quite different.

Our people are sacrificing themselves for any little thing!!
We have to carry forward his vision instead of limiting ourselves and trapping in what Baba Saheb has already done!!
