Sangharakshita Memorial Space
Remembering Sangharakshita Through His Friendships

Urgyen Sangharakshita - simply “Bhante” to his friends and to many who practice in the Triratna community world-wide - was a complex, even sometimes complicated, man. Much has been written and said about his contribution to the flourishing of Buddhism in India and the West since the 1960s - and about some of his more controversial sides as a teacher and leader. But we know a lot less about him as a friend.
In this film commissioned to mark the first anniversary of his death, Bhante’s friends talk personally about their relationship with him and what it means to them now he is gone.
With thanks to Amaradaya, Sanghadhara and the team at Clear Vision.

Sona and I have just sat and watched this. Deeply moving to hear these memories. Sadhu to clear vision for making such a beautiful film. Great images and very sensitively made and edited.
it helped me connect with something of ‘the beyond’ that is much bigger than I can possibly understand.

Thank you so much for making this film. I sit in the morning at Crecent Head (NSW) about to start a semi solitary just weeks after my Ordination. My immense gratitude to Bhante and to so many more wise than I is very present. I feel very fortunate.
Best wishes
