What Is the Sangha: The Nature of Spiritual Community Paperback – August 1, 2004

This a brilliant book by the leading western Buddhism scholar who is also a leading practitioner of the Buddhist Dharma. It includes a rivetting account of the development of spirituality over the millenia and illuminates the world we live in now. For any practising Buddhist it is essential reading.

This is a great opus, in which Sangharakshita is deeping into concepts like "individual", "sangha", and "community", to explain fundamental ideas of buddhism

Stunning, beautiful, heart warming, realistic.

This book covers all angles of what Sangha means and what the nature of it is in practice. A very helpful and easy to read book.

Sangharakshita is unique and radical in his understanding of Sangha. Revolutionary and crucial reading.
