We Are Just Buddhists - An Ecumenical Approach
About this episode
In his first public appearance since his eyesight began to deteriorate, Sangharakshita begins this new talk with reflections on his blindness, displaying remarkable equanimity and humour in the process. His main subjects, however, are six particular aspects of Buddhist life and practice which are given distinctive emphasis in the spiritual movement he has founded. Here, he defines the ecumenical approach to Buddhism that our practicing spiritual community takes. Excerpted from the talk The Six Distinctive Emphases of the FWBO [Triratna], previously released under the title, 'An Informal Talk at Padmaloka', given in 2002.
