Mass Conversions to Buddhism

There are three major missionary world religions: Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism (Judaism in not considered global due to geographic limits). Each faith possesses a prosleytizing imperative. The karunah of Buddhism calls its followers to be able to disclose the teachings of the Buddha in all the voices that exist in the world.”

The Dalai Lama will be presiding over a mass conversion of Dalits in India. Up to 100,000 Dalits will convert, perhaps the largest mass conversion in modern history. Interestingly, many Dalits have also converted to Christianity. These conversions are often motivated by Dalit hope in escaping the “untouchable” caste life.
