In 1964 Sangharakshita, the seniormost Buddhist monk of British
birth, left India for a visit to the UK. After twenty years in the
subcontinent-travelling and lecturing, writing, working among the
most deprived, and extending and deepening his knowledge of the
Dharma-he had been invited by leading British Buddhists to help
resolve tensions in the British Buddhist scene. While he was trying
to ease conflicts and create harmony, an unexpected turn of events
brought Sangharakshita to a crucial decision. This fourth volume of
memoirs, covering the years 1964 to 1967, deals with
Sangharakshita's return to Britain and describes the difficulties
he encountered in his attempts to unite English Buddhists. We
witness the turning point at which he decided to dedicate his life
to working 'for the good of Buddhism' in his native land. This
culminated in the birth (in a shop basement in central London) of a
new Buddhist movement. Thirty-six years later the Friends of the
Western Buddhist Order is spreading the Buddha's message in more
than twenty-six countries around the globe.
Other Memoirs by Sangharakshita: "The Rainbow Road," "Facing Mount
Kanchenjunga," "In the Sign of the Golden Wheel"
