Description

Sangharakshita was a Buddhist monk, a writer, a poet, and the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order and Community - a pioneering worldwide Buddhist movement. He was also an audacious reformer, and for some a deeply controversial figure. In an absorbing narrative, Nagabodhi takes us on a journey through the twists and turns of Sangharakshita's life; the experiences, insights, and reflections that nurtured his approach as a teacher; what it was like to live among his committed followers; and the controversies he left behind.

About the Author

Nagabodhi is a British Buddhist and teacher. He first met Sangharakshita and the Buddhist movement he founded in 1970. He lived with Sangharakshita for some years and travelled with him throughout an extended lecture tour in India in 1982-- an experience he chronicled in his book, Jai Bhim: Dispatches from a Peaceful Revolution.
