Why is the WBO an Order, and not just a Buddhist organisation? Sangharakshita here emphasises commitment to the Three Jewels of Buddhism, and indicates historical reasons for the degeneration of past spiritual communities in the East. (Note: the FWBO has grown considerably since this lecture was given.)
Talk given in 1979.
This talk is part of the series A New Buddhist Movement - the Meaning of the FWBO.
