Aprašymas

Reimagining Buddhism is an in-depth exploration of Sangharakshita, a significant figure in modern Buddhism who played a crucial role in bringing Buddhism to the West and reviving it in India. The book examines Sangharakshita's complex legacy, including the controversy surrounding his sexual activities and how it affected his reputation within the Triratna Buddhist Community. It provides a comprehensive account of his understanding of Buddhism, tracing the influences that shaped his teachings, life as a scholar-monk, and his development of a global Buddhist movement. Sangharakshita's approach, which drew from the entire Buddhist tradition rather than adhering to a single school, is both celebrated and criticized for its innovation. The book, written with sensitivity and scholarly insight, serves as an introduction for newcomers and a detailed analysis for those familiar with Sangharakshita's work.
