| Due for release in January 2009, The Essential Sangharakshita is the culmination of over fifty years of one man's study, practice, and personal experience of Buddhism.
Profoundly knowledgeable and articulate, and equally at home with science, philosophy, myth, art and poetry, Urgyen Sangharakshita uses every inner avenue to the timeless Dharma to the Western mind. Engaging both the intellectual and the heart countless times in a single chapter, the author draws remarkably apt examples from sources as diverse as Orwell, Aeschylus, and Jane Austen.
This distilled volume is a primer to the breadth and depth of Buddhist thought and practice.
