Buddhism has a rich history in India, and the traces of that are vivid and palpable in the caves where monastics practiced for hundreds of years. Along with these caves, we'll visit Triratna projects where Buddhism flourishes today inspired by Bhante Sangharakshita and Dr B.R Ambedkar's vision of a new society.
