A New Buddhist Movement I

The first of two volumes entitled A. New Buddhist Movement. , this collection chronicles Sangharakshita's unfolding vision of the Dharma between 1965 and 2009. Underlying all these writings is what Sangharakshita calls 'the essence' of his teaching, the necessity of human spiritual development, and its process through a series of stages drawn from the Buddhist tradition. Part 2 of the volume continues this theme in articles and interviews first published in The Buddhist. , the FWBO Newsletter. , and other publications, as the movement he founded grew steadily from its first stirrings in a tiny London basement to embrace five continents of the globe. More recent teachings include four previously unpublished talks given between 2007 and 2009.
