New 'Adhisthana Writings' by Sangharakshita

Posted by Centre Team to Triratna News on Mon, 24 Jul, 2017 - 12:08

Today we are reporting on the publication of a new set of writings by Sangharakshita, the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Community.

Just before Sangharakshita’s 90th birthday in August 2016, his friend Paramartha, was called away to the other side of the world where his mother was seriously ill. As it turned out he stayed away for nearly six months.

Great that there’s a kindle version! Thanks.

Charlotte Lawes — Tue, 25 Jul, 2017 - 08:23

Hi Martin - let me know if you have any problems with downloading / using it.

Martin H — Thu, 27 Jul, 2017 - 18:25

Hi Charlotte,
No problems downloading or using it. Really enjoyed reading it all. Very interesting. Though there is a slight formatting issue: All the text is indented to the right (by about a tab) for the whole book, so there is a constant gap down the left side of each page. Only the headings of each piece are aligned fully to the left. Didn’t bother me. -Martin
