Before the Beatles popularized 'eastern mysticism', a Western Buddhist was an unusual sight in India. So when Laurence Mills, later ordained as Buddhist monk Khantipalo, arrived in 1960, he was one of the pioneers in search of the Buddha’s teachings in its ancient homeland.
Khantipalo invites us to share in his reflections on the truth of the Buddha’s message for our time. Travelling with him, we meet his ‘noble friend’ and teacher, Sangharakshita, and other inspiring characters he encountered. These included the Tibetan lama Dhardo Rimpoche, defender of Tibetan culture, the incomparable Yogi Chen, meditation master, and the followers of the late Dr BR Ambedkar, champion of those discriminated against on the grounds of caste, who turned to Buddhism.
