Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Dhammamegha sits down with Vishvapani to delve into his new book Reimagining Buddhism: Understanding Sangharakshita and His Teachings. Together they explore the extraordinary life and legacy of Sangharakshita, a visionary, poet, and at times controversial pioneer in Buddhism’s journey to the modern world.
Through their conversation, Vishvapani reveals the sensibility and depth that made Sangharakshita such a distinctive teacher: his vision of the unity of the Buddhist tradition, his poetic imagination, and his insistence that spiritual growth is a process of unfolding and wholeness.
More than a biographical portrait, this discussion invites us to look afresh at Sangharakshita’s thought and imagination, and to engage deeply with his enduring influence as the founder of the Triratna Buddhist Order and movement.
