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
