Giving the Gift of the Dharma

By Helen - Windhor... on Tue, 10 Sep, 2019 - 16:01

Dharmapriya was delighted when The Complete Works was released, but he hesitated about subscribing;...

Imagining an new, ideal, form of Buddhism for today, he suggests it could be governed by an organisation such as Triratna. Later he notes that his ideal is not a pipe dream because it has already been envisaged and brought into being in Triratna (which he...
