According to Ambedkar which of the following statements is not true ?

  • A.To maintain purity of life is Dhamma
  • B.To reach perfection in life is Dhamma
  • C.To live in nibbana is Dhamma
  • D.To believe in God is Dhamma

Answer: D

The statement not true for Ambedkar is To believe in God is Dhamma.

In The Buddha and His Dhamma, Ambedkar sets out what is Dhamma, what is not Dhamma and what is Saddhamma. Among the things that are not Dhamma he lists belief in God, belief in the soul and belief in the supernatural. Dhamma for him is a moral and social way of life, not belief in a creator.

He lists as Dhamma to maintain purity of life, to reach perfection in life and to live in nibbana, so the other three statements are true in his account.
