Three Jewels Buddhism - Finding the Heart of the Dharma Traditions

by Vishvapani

This is the first talk from the series organised by 'Dharmapala College' to mark the 40th anniversary of the Western Buddhist Order, with a chance for questions and comments from the audience. The series looked at the Order and the FWBO taken together -?past and future: its own emphases, and its relationship to the whole Buddhist tradition...

Vishvapani's usual good-natured and reflective approach is just the thing to start us off as he looks at how Sangharakshita's initiative in founding the Fwbo might be viewed in terms of the unity of Buddhism.

Talk given at the national Order weekend, Wymondham College, March 2008
