Episode 6: What the Buddha Knew About Racism

Read the post

In this episode, I take a closer look at what the Buddha taught about racism, caste, and identity through the lens of early Buddhist texts, not modern reinterpretations. While many today try to integrate Buddhism with social justice frameworks, this episode reflects on how the Dhamma approaches injustice differently: not by elevating group identity, but by pointing to conduct, intention, and the mind. I explore how the Buddha dismantled caste, not through revolution, but through recognition of what truly makes a person noble.
