Sangharakshita

I wanted to dedicate one page of this website to my Buddhist teacher Urgyen Sangarakshita. He has his own website, but I wanted to honour him in my own way here.

SangharakshitaI mainly know him through his writing and through listening to his talks. More recently he came to Valencia and stayed in our place for a few days, so I got a chance to be around him and enjoy his presence. He is now an elderly gentleman (he was born in 1925) and I could not help think that if I get to his age and in such good humour and wakefulness, I would have lived a good long life.

Much has flourished out of his efforts to communicate the Buddhas teaching and establish a vibrant living spiritual community. I personally have benefitted and continue to benefit from my encounter with the Dharma Wisdom tradition and continue draw inspiration from his work.

I wish that many more beings will benefit from his work and that he will live a long and graceful life.
