Great Ocean (Part 3): Alchemy

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.

I really enjoyed the film - and wanted it to keep going! I loved the appropriate and often witty juxtapositions… My overwhelming response was one of delight.

Great Ocean (Part 1): Memories of the Road

I started Great Ocean by writing to and later meeting Sangharakshita in June 2018. My idea was a film to explore a range of friendships in his life and he was quick to name two very important ones: Buddharakshita and Terry Delamare.

In this first part, we meet Buddharakshita, Sangharakshita’s companion in the holy life who facilitated the transition to living in India. A first person account taken from several memoirs vividly brought to life with found footage.

Great Ocean 1 Memories of the Road

A series of four full length films on the life of Urgyen Sangharakshita.

Poetry and verse were a lifelong love of Sangharakshita. His deep reverence for the Buddha was often expressed in his poetry. This programme explores Bhante’s thoughts on the importance of devotion whether expressed through writing, adorning shrines, puja or in other ways.

Paramartha considers the books of verse that Sangharakshita kept with him throughout his life including a text that proved an important source of inspiration, encouragement and guidance not only in his early years in India but throughout his life.
