Buddha's teachings are often described as anti-caste and built on the belief that all people are created equal. The Buddha believed in a person's qualities, not in their caste, and the ideal of the sangha's collective well-being rejects the practice of unequal accumulation by castes. Buddha had also raised his voice against social oppression and caste discrimination, and helped to uplift women by making education and religion accessible to them.
