It is with a deeply saddened heart that we inform you that our dear colleague, one of the founders of the school, our dear friend, István Benő Lázi, left us yesterday afternoon, 24 August, too soon.
Benő was a great man and everything he did he did with all his heart. His work and activities in our school are irreplaceable. His memory and his life will always be preserved in our hearts, in our institution, in its halls and in its corridors.
We would like to express our sincere condolences to his family, all his friends, his students, and everyone whom Benő touched during his short life.
May the earth be light for you, dear Benő!

Buddha was the first great reformer in the ancient society and Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar believed that Buddhism could be called as a revolution. A religious revolution that turned into social as well as a political revolution when Mauryan king Ashoka embraced Buddhism.
Dr Ambedkar also came to conclusion after going through the ancient religious books that pre-Buddhist Aryan community did not have developed any moral sense or social values. It was Buddha who started the moral and social revolution in the society.
Rohingya a minority community in Myanmar (Buddhist nation) is treated worse than animals and doesn’t have any rights and not considered as the citizen of Myanmar despite living there for hundreds of years. Their freedom of movement is restricted and have almost zero access to jobs and medical facilities. Their condition is worse than the condition of black South Africans under apartheid but still, Rohingya’s struggle doesn’t make into world news. Hundreds and thousands Rohingya have been displaced from their homes since the last couple of decades.
The latest Rohingya exodus began on 25 August after Rohingya Arsa militants attacked more than 30 police posts with sticks and machetes. Does this give any right to so-called Buddhist mobs and Myanmar military to kill thousands and force hundreds of thousands to leave their homes and rape thousands of innocent girls?

Our Inspiration (1st Part)
Jai Bhim is a cheerful greeting. Ten million Indians greet each other in this manner. They're the Dalits who are a proud community. They inherited an extremely difficult life. Their parents and grandparents and untold generations before them were outcasts in society. Even today they still encounter prejudice and experience helplessness.
For more than a millenium their ancestors lived as outcasts. People had a horror of touching them. Others even avoided being in their proximity as their shadow was considered polluting. If they went to school they were seated separately, If they were able to obtain work they did the dirtiest and lowest paid jobs.

With their greeting of Jai Bhim they remind each other of their own successful revolution in 1956 for their human rights. Their cause is sacred. It inspires us here in Hungary, as we also face segregation and prejudice today. We would like to know discrimination is a thing of the past.
The dalit's story is like a fairy tale.

Our Inspiration (3rd Part)
Once upon a time, a hundred years ago, there lived a seventeen year old untouchable boy in a big family, His name was Bhim. He was the youngest child among 14 siblings. He surpassed all of them because of his brilliant mind. A wealthy maharaj acknowledged his poverty and bestowed a scholarship on him. Bhim was aware that Indian schools were being discriminatory and practiced segregation. Therefore, he tried his fortune in London and New York where he achieved university degrees. He received the title Dr. Ambedkar when he returned home to serve his people as a barrister.

Nevertheless, he was considered as an untouchable in accordance with the holy books of the Hindu religion. Therefore, he convened with his friends and publicly burned Manu's Laws, the Hindu holy script which bids the Hindu to hold the Untouchable in disdain. He became a human right fighter and his authority was constantly growing throughout the whole country. When India gained independence in 1947 he was nominated as law minister. He was entrusted with drafting the Constitution for the country. He wrote in it that discrimination is forbidden.

Our Inspiration (5th Part)
In his old age the Dalit people addressed him with veneration as Dr. Babasaheb. He and his laws, however respected they were, he still stared frustratedly at the discrimination existing all over the country. He decided then to show the people a spiritual alternative. As our judgment is determined by our faith, he took an oath: "I was born a Hindu Untouchable. It was beyond my power to prevent that but I declare that it is within my power to refuse to live under ignoble and humiliating conditions. I solemnly assure you that I will not die a Hindu". He abjured hindu religion that had brought so much suffering and humiliation to the Untouchable people (today's Dalits).

He studied thoroughly all the faiths of the world. He was seeking a religion which fitted together with reason, with modern science, and which declared liberty, fraternity and equality amongst people. He decided to follow the path of the Indian prince who lived 2500 years ago: he would be a follower of the Buddha. This was a decision of profound importance for the Dalits because the Buddha is venerated thoughout the world, and India is entitled to take pride in her great son. Dr. Ambedkar showed his astuteness: all of us can choose the way to be respected, we can change our fate for the better. Hundreds of thousands followed Ambedkar to the magnificent ceremony in Nagpur in October 1956. This was the rebirth of Buddhism in India. Babasaheb died six weeks later.

Those who at that time embraced a new world view with him, they are today grandfathers and grandmothers. Their grandchildren are as numerous as the whole population of Hungary. They follow Ambedkar's example: they face even the biggest difficulties in all things - to study and to exercise their human rights.
