Ambedkar Association of North America (AANA) Supports Dhamma Kranti through Digital Education-Laptop Donation to local Vihara in India AANA has generously donated 2nd laptop to Bhim Jyoti Buddha Vihara, Nagpur, where a transformative initiative is underway to empower young Samanera (novice monks) through digital education. Under the guidance of Bhante Chandrakirti, this educational institute is nurturing more than 45 young monks who balance their regular academic studies with Dhamma classes, preparing for their future role as monks and community leaders.
The laptop donation program is bridging the digital divide and expanding learning opportunities by enabling the Samaneras to: 1. Strengthen their formal education with modern learning tools. 2. Access online resources, e-learning platforms, and Buddhist teachings worldwide. 3. Develop digital skills essential for community service and leadership in the future. This effort represents a true Dhamma Kranti – a revolution through Dhamma – where tradition meets technology to cultivate wisdom, compassion, and progress.
