Book Summary
The Sangha, the spiritual community, is traditionally one of the three highest ideals of Buddhism, alongside the Buddha and the Dharma. Here Sangharakshita presents the ideal Sangha as a free association between developing individuals. An exploration of the nature of spiritual community is balanced by reflections on individuality and what it is to be truly human. Since the Sangha is all about relationships, the final part of this book considers the individual's relationship to others -- friends, family, fellow workers, and spiritual teachers -- and the connections of the Buddhist community to the world as a whole. Sangharakshita's vision shapes and enlivens this book, transforming Sangha from an idea to an inspiring and practical ideal.
