Triratna India shares a short video from the centenary celebrations for Bhante Sangharakshita. The Sangha expresses gratitude for his founding of the Triratna Buddhist Order, his role in the revival of Buddhism in India, and his wider contribution to the Buddhist movement—internationally and in India—in the spirit of Dr. B.

A fascinating look through Triratna’s history via this realistic portrayal of Sangharakshita and his friendships. This film also includes a take on his sexuality in an honest and direct way.
