Sangrahavastus (Talk 1) - To Shop or Not to Shop

First in a five-part series given to the Chapter Convenors meeting of the Western Buddhist Order at a time when the various systems of training and support within the Order and FWBO began to change. Here he is looking in particular at the 'Mitra System'. Subhuti is exploring new ways of doing things that have since been greatly developed, but this is good material - especially as his thinking over the series is based on an in-depth look at each of the traditional 'Four Means of Unification'.
