Angry Asian Buddhist Has More on the Plight of Buddhists in Bangladesh

by Danny Fisher

Arun at Angry Asian Buddhist continues his watch on the situation in Bangladesh. You should make sure to keep an eye on his blog for more on this matter. Here’s an important part of his latest post:

Bangladesh’s [embattled] Chittagong division is home to a large number of Buddhists, including the meditation masters Dipa Ma and Anagarika Munindra. These teachers in particular had a profound impact on Buddhism both in the West and elsewhere in Asia far beyond their native Chittagong. The Buddhists of Bangladesh, however, have no Dalai Lama or Aung San Suu Kyi to direct the world’s attention to their plight. They pursue their quest for liberty and justice largely in the shadow of the world’s attention.
