About Us
Who we are, and why we gather.
ABGN-UK is a cloud-native, member-governed community carrying forward the legacy of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the Buddha's Dhamma across the United Kingdom.

Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar · 1891 — 1956
Father of the Indian Constitution
Our mission
To educate, organise and uplift, together.
The Ambedkarite Buddhist Global Network UK exists to foster a just, peaceful and enlightened society through study, practice and fellowship. We welcome people of every background who share our values of equality, compassion and critical inquiry.
Our operations are fully cloud-based: membership, events, donations and governance all happen in an accessible, transparent digital environment, enabling members from Edinburgh to Southampton to participate on equal footing.
To deliver our charitable mission online, ABGN-UK has built its own digital platform — not as a commercial product, but as charitable infrastructure. The platform hosts live meditation, Dhamma teachings, community meetings, structured educational courses, youth programmes, and study circles. It exists so that distance, disability, caring responsibilities or the absence of a local Buddhist centre never bar anyone from public participation in the Sangha.
Inspired by the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha) and Babasaheb's Panchsheel of civic virtue, we cultivate a community where nobody is left behind.
