The Essential Sangharakshita:
A Half-Century of Writings from the Founder of the
Friends of the Western Buddhist Order
by Sangharakshita
The Essential Sangharakshita is the culmination of over fifty years of one man's study, practice, and personal experience of Buddhism.
Profoundly knowledgeable and articulate, and equally at home with science, philosophy, myth, art and poetry, Urgyen Sangharakshita uses every inner avenue to the timeless Dharma to the Western mind. Engaging both the intellectual and the heart countless times in a single chapter, the author draws remarkably apt examples from sources as diverse as Orwell, Aeschylus, and Jane Austen.
This distilled volume is a primer to the breadth and depth of Buddhist thought and practice.

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it... Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher. But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings - that doctrine believe and cling to and take it as your guide.
The Buddha
