Sangharakshita, founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order and
Community, moved to Moseley, Birmingham in 1997. He was then in his
early seventies. He stayed there sixteen years. In some ways it was
one of the most important periods of his life: he was handing on
his responsibilities to senior disciples. But what was it like to
be Sangharakshita at this time? What kind of life did he lead? What
did he think about? This miscellany of prose and verse brings us
right into the life and mind of the author - and what scope is
there to be discovered: a poem on dementia; a reverie on
'principled vandalism'; a recollection of 'a season in hell'.
Secular Buddhism is the subject of one of the book reviews. He also
pays a personal tribute to Ayya Khema, and looks back at his Family
History. The poetry (plus an Apology), written in old age,
expresses something essential of the Sangharakshita of these years;
his themes include the Twin Towers, Merlin, and poems to a new
friend. These are not 'Buddhist teachings' in the traditional sense
but the output of someone whose whole life has been lived in and
for the Dharma.To read them is to be brought into contact with the
living stream of Buddhism; and perhaps to come away changed.
