Remembering Sangharakshita Through His Friendships
On Fri, 25 October, 2019 - 17:57
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.

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.
