| | Sangharakshita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kalyana mitrata or spiritual friendship is lauded in the Buddhist scriptures, and Sangharakshita has ecouraged his followers to explore friendship as a spiritual practice. | | | Sangharakshita's ecumenical approach, which embraced many strands of the Buddhist tradition, was in contrast to the strict Theravadin style Buddhism at the vihara. | | | Bhikkhu Jagdish Kashyap : with whom Sangharakshita studied Pali and Buddhist Logic. |

| | Friends of the Western Buddhist Order |
| | Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) is a Buddhist movement that was founded by Sangharakshita in 1967, along with the Western Buddhist Order (in 1968). | | | Sangharakshita was ordained as a Theravadin bhikkhu and spent many years living in India. | | | Having seen that, despite considerable interest in the Dharma, British Buddhism was formalistic, sectarian, and riven by discord, Sangharakshita set out to start a new Buddhist movement. |

| | The FWBO Files - A Response |
| | Sangharakshita is not a follower of Tibetan Buddhism, nor is he a Vajrayana teacher, and the FWBO is not and does not claim to be a Tibetan Buddhist tradition. | | | Sangharakshita's principal engagement with Tibetan Buddhism in his teaching is in the many seminars he gave during the 1970s and 1980s on texts from many traditions, including Tibetan Vajrayana. | | | Sangharakshita's claim to teach Vajrayana (tantric) Buddhism is bogus.'(p.7) |

| | The Secret Teaching of Urgyen Sangharakshita |
| | Sangharakshita, the founder and head of the Western Buddhist Order, is a revered Elder within the western Buddhist world. | | | Sangharakshita also selected his yab-yab disciples on the grounds of their looks - not in any whimsical way, but on objective aesthetic grounds, looks that in the cases of these disciples were therefore the product of good karma and spiritual aptitude. | | | Over the years, the yab-yab experience of these fortunate disciples has matured, particularly through their sustained practice of Bodhicitta Ati Yoga Sadhana, in which the initial experience of yab-yab with the teacher is imaginatively re-created and contemplated, along with the sensation of transformative white nectar passing from the Guru to themselves. |

| | Return Journey |
| | Sangharakshita's life overlaps with a key period in the development of Buddhism in the West, and it is no overstatement to describe him as one of the founding fathers of western Buddhism. | | | Sangharakshita gave two series of lectures on Buddhism as 'the path of the Higher Evolution'; he considered affinities between Buddhism and western philosophy and psychology; and he sprinkled his talks with literary references and anecdotes. | | | The portrait of the 40-year-old Sangharakshita that emerges from the book is of a perceptive, learned, self-contained man. He was also a singular individual who, in some sense, didn't fit anywhere – certainly not in the drawing-room chatter and committee-room politics of English Buddhism. |

| | The FWBO Files - Statement from the FWBO Communications Office |
| | Sangharakshita takes a different view, which he has articulated in numerous publications, that the essence of the Buddhist tradition and practice, whatever school or denomination, is commitment to the primary values of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha and to effective practise of the Buddha's Teaching. | | | The document makes no attempt to understand Sangharakshita and the FWBO in the light of their stated objective: to develop a form of Buddhism that is true to the core of the Buddhist tradition as a whole, and which is at the same time appropriate for the modern world. | | | The document claims that Sangharakshita was guilty of sexual misconduct in India and at the Hampstead Buddhist Vihara in the '50s and early '60s. |

| | CHAPTER TWO |
| | Sangharakshita asserts that members of all religions are taught to act in a compassionate and empathetic manner, and thus it is difficult to assess to what religion people belong only from their actions. | | | Sangharakshita states, with regard to Batchelor’s stance on belief, “believing in a proposition of fact is not incompatible with acting upon it.”[32] According to Sangharakshita, belief is necessary in order for action to even exist; the two are not mutually exclusive. | | | Sangharakshita writes that his “principal disagreement with Batchelor is in connection with his advocacy of a belief-free, agnostic Buddhism.”[30] He claims that although Batchelor is correct in seeking answers to certain cosmological questions in the appropriate domains |

| | For Sangharakshita the fundamental act the makes one a Buddhist, and in fact unites all Buddhists, is that of Going for Refuge to the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha. | | | Sangharakshita is the founder of the Western Buddhist Order and my main Buddhist Teacher. | | | Sangharakshita's teaching and the way he has lived his life have given me a deep appreciation for the Buddha's ethical teachings. |

| | Journal of Buddhist Ethics |
| | Sangharakshita insists that members of the Western Buddhist Order are to be considered neither as monks or laypeople, but in meetings with monks this is rarely understood and the Order member is assumed to be a layman. | | | Sangharakshita's pamphlet is the third in a series of what might be termed "position papers" that have been delivered to members of the Western Buddhist Order at anniversary events over a period of eight years. | | | In the 1957 essay Sangharakshita defined orthodoxy in Buddhism as meaning Right Views (sammādiṭṭhika), a term that can be applied to the erroneous views of non-Buddhists as well as the mistaken views of Buddhists who considered themselves to be orthodox. |

| | Vision and Transformations |
| | Sangharakshita is a rich, passionate, complex, multi-talented, multi-dimensional man. He once admitted that if he hadn't found some object of commitment as worthy, as all-consuming, or as noble as the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, then the powerful and diverse forces of his nature would have ripped him apart. | | | This isn't my first memory of Sangharakshita, but it marks the time when I really got a sense of who and what he is, and realised why I'd decided not only to stick with him but to devote my life to helping him realise his vision for a new kind of Buddhist movement. | | | He has written about the fundamental tension between Sangharakshita I, the poet, dreamer and visionary, and Sangharakshita II, the thinker, scholar and monk, and it is sometimes (but not always) possible to witness the dynamic interplay of these and other forces within him. |

| | Sangharakshita by Subhuti |
| | Having become a Buddhist at the age of fifteen, Sangharakshita was one of the first Westerners to make the journey to the East and to don the monk's yellow robe. | | | He lived for many years in a town on the Indo-Tibetan border, and made a series of friendships which left him uniquely experienced in the main traditions of Buddhist teaching and practice. | | | Today it is a gathering force in Western life, sowing the seeds of a spiritual, cultural, philosophical, artistic, and even economic revolution. |
