The Essential Sangharakshita
Essential Sangharakshita is the culmination of over fifty years of one mans study, practice, and personal experience of Buddhism. Sangharakshita is unique in his experience with many different Buddhist traditions and his distillation of their core practices. Transmitted into a set of teachings and practices that forms the basis of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO); one of the largest and longest running international Buddhist communities. Sangharakshita is not of the East, and he is not of the West, but he springs forth from both, now on this side, now on that, like a master swordsman sparring your preconceived ideas, and you never know where he will come at you from in the ne...
The Essential Sangharakshita
The Essential Sangharakshita was first published by Wisdom Publications in 2009. It is an anthology, arranged according to the pattern of a mandala, drawn from Sangharakshita's writings in many genres and covering many aspects of Buddhist life and practice, and expressing the author's deep knowledge and love of the Buddhist tradition and of Western culture. Full of images and symbols, personal and traditional stories, logical arguments, poems, and explanations, communicated clearly, accessibly, and warmly, there is something here to give any reader an entrance to the world of the Dharma .
Sangharakshita
What does it mean to be a Buddhist today? How are we to relate to the diverse forms that have come down to us? Sangharakshita is one of the modern world's most influential and respected Buddhists. After spending many years in the East, he returned to Britain in 1967 to establish an international Buddhist movement and has developed a broad approach to Buddhism that is at once thoroughly traditional and radically original. This unique introduction provides a summary of his contribution not only to Buddhism in the West, but internationally
Sangharakshita Complete Works
The nine texts in this volume, composed over a period of more than thirty years, show‚ Sangharakshita's unfolding insight into the meaning, significance and centrality of Going for Refuge.
The Complete Works of Sangharakshita
In this volume Sangharakshita approaches communicating Buddhism in the West from two very different, but equally illuminating, angles. In the first part, in talks given in the early years of his teaching in England, he introduces the apparently exotic worlds of Tibetan Buddhism (1965) and its creative symbols (1972) and Zen Buddhism (1965), clarifying their mysteries while also somehow allowing them to work their magic.
Sangharakshita - Concordance to His Complete Works
This is a rather unusual reference work. With elements of index, dictionary, encyclopaedia, concordance, and collection of quotations, it has been designed to act as a comprehensive and accessible guide to the whole of the Complete Works. Sangharakshita's life of creative engagement with the world of reading, writing, and knowledge began with the years he spent, confined to bed by a childhood illness, absorbed in the many volumes of an encyclopaedia, and he once declared that 'the most useful book in the world, leaving aside the scriptures, is the dictionary'. There's a pleasing symmetry in the completion of his Complete Works by a reference work of his own. Sangharakshita once said that a dictionary is full of interesting surprises, and that is certainly true of this concordance. It answers one's questions, raises other questions, and above all it is full of signposts to help the reader find their own particular way through the vast forest of the Dharma.
A New Buddhist Movement I
In books, articles, interviews, and talks dating from 1965 to 2009, Sangharakshita outlines his vision of a new Buddhist movement. More recent teachings include four previously unpublished talks given between 2007 and 2009 at Buddhafield, Berlin’s Buddhistisches Tor, and other venues.
