Summary: Episode Description: In this talk, Matthew Kozan Palevsky explores the Third Noble Truth through the life and work of an Indian activist, Dr. Ambedkar, particularly the movement he founded to dismantle the country’s caste system. Kozan invites us to “cultivate a different relationship to our cravings” as a way to clearly see and embody fully the truth of cessation. As we hear of the tireless effort of Ambedkar to end the discrimination of the Dalit people, we discover how the Buddha’s teachings helped reshape a nation and how, as Ambedkar puts it: “If we wish to reform the world we must begin with our own minds.”<br> To help keep these podcasts freely available, we hope you will consider making a suggested donation of $25 to our <a title="Give to Upaya's Dharma Podcast Fund" href="https://www.upaya.org/give/fund.php?id=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dharma Podcast Fund</a>.<br> <br>
