Sangharakshita@90 + Follow, Get Involved!

By Candradasa on Thu, 25 Jun, 2015 - 21:19

Sangharakshita’s 90th’s birthday wish is that his legacy of written Dharma be secure and continue to reach people all over the world.

But half his writings are out of print and unavailable, search through his entire oeuvre is impossible (even digitally), and most are only available in English.

Our gift will be to publish Bhante’s collected works for the first time, including unpublished or ‘lost’ material, new prefaces and endnotes and a comprehensive index for easy exploration – all verified by Bhante...
