One of Sangharakshita's outstanding contributions to Buddhism has
been to survey the whole range of Buddhist schools, each with its
own approach, own language and so on, and to distil out what is
most fundamental. You are a Buddhist because - and only because -
you Go for Refuge to the Three Jewels. But how did this become
clear to him and what in any case does it actually mean practically
to go for Refuge to the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha? The nine texts
in this volume, composed over a period of more than thirty years,
show Sangharakshita's unfolding insight into the meaning,
significance and centrality of Going for Refuge. It includes some
of his most important communications to the Order he founded: on
the ten ethical precepts, his relation to the Order, and the
history of his Going for Refuge. And in reflecting on his own
bhikkhu ordination there is a challenge to some of the Buddhist
world's most deeply rooted assumptions. Sangharakshita writes not
just as a student and scholar but with the devotion of one who
himself Goes for Refuge and seeks to share the fruits of his
journey with others.
