The Buddha on Politics and Society

Here we'll look at what the Buddha had to say about politics and society. He had a very interesting approach and some unique insights to provide! This is my third YouTube video, so it's a bit rougher than some of the later ones. Apologies! Book used: Bhikkhu Bodhi's new anthology, The Buddha's Teachings on Social and Communal Harmony. http://amzn.to/2hjKxtA Check out my Patreon page:   / dougsseculardharma   Some of my posts on early Buddhism and politics over at the Secular Buddhist Association: http://secularbuddhism.org/2017/02/06... http://secularbuddhism.org/2015/10/26... http://secularbuddhism.org/2016/09/27... http://secularbuddhism.org/2014/12/15...
