Who is Urgyen Sangharakshita?: Highlighted Series from Subhuti

From Free Buddhist Audio on Thu, 14 Mar, 2019 - 12:22

In this important series of rambles given at the London Buddhist Centre, Subhuti unpacks his 15 minute funeral oration for Sangharakshita on 10th November 2018 at Adhisthana. He demonstrates how someone can be considered a very great teacher, exemplar, and even guru, yet also be a human being with his own personality and even failings.

Voices from the Buddhist world 15: Bhante S Dhammika (2)

From Sangharakshita Memorial Space on Thu, 31 Jan, 2019 - 18:53
