For the sixth death anniversary of Bhante Sangharakshita we have delved into the Triratna Video Library archives and edited a 14 minute video.

In this previously unseen footage you will find Bhante giving a masterclass in how to launch a book as he launches the third edition of Subhuti’s ‘The Buddhist Vision’. Recorded in Birmingham on FWBO Day in 2001. With a light, even playful, touch, he remembers the Movement’s beginnings in Monmouth Street before turning to a ‘momentous event’ in 1985....
