Memories of the Road

Sangharakshita’s twenty years living and working in India begins when two Second World War soldiers seek Buddhist ordination, an adventure in itself. Later, as the world celebrates the 2,500 anniversary of Enlightenment, Sangharakshita has established his Himalayan monastery, published a definitive Survey of Buddhism and begun teaching millions of ex-Untouchable disciples. Dhardo rinpoche takes him through the Bodhisattva vows just as a request comes to heal a troubled sangha in England.
