Sangharakshita read the Diamond Sutra for the first time the summer
he turned seventeen. It seemed to awaken him to something whose
existence he had forgotten, and he joyfully embraced those profound
teachings 'with an unqualified acceptance'. This experience decided
the whole future direction of his life.In this first volume of
memoirs he describes how, from a working-class childhood in the
London suburb of Tooting, he came, a twenty-four-year-old Buddhist
novice monk, to Kalimpong in the eastern Himalayas. Sangharakshita
paints a vivid picture of the people, the places and the
experiences that shaped his life: his childhood, his army days, and
the gurus he met during his years as a wandering ascetic staying in
the caves and ashrams of India. He moves between the ordinary and
the extraordinary, from the mundane to the sublime; his narrative
takes in the psychological and aesthetic, the philosophical and
spiritual. His experiences are both universal - love and loss,
comedy and tragedy - and unique to what is an exceptional life.
