Dharma teaching - PS - 'a page of Sangharakshita'

By mokshini on Mon, 21 Nov, 2016 - 18:22

PS stands for a ‘Page of Sangharakshita’

It’s a great idea from Saraha at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre… They are a series of excepts from Bhante that are no more than a page long, some a lot shorter than a page, so they can be easily printed out and used to lead study/discussion – for example on a level 2 course, or a sangha night.

Interview with Bhante on Ambedkar

By Carunalaka on Fri, 7 Oct, 2016 - 23:10

Maitriveer Nagarjuna interviews Bhante about his meetings with Dr. Ambedkar. In this rare and precious footage, Sangharakshita also talks about how he felt compelled to go to Nagpur on the night that Babaseb died, just seven weeks after he’d converted to Buddhism.
