How do we listen to the ‘voice within’? How do we become an individual? How can imagination free us? Satyalila weaves together Sangharakshita’s teachings on the True Individual with Blake to show us how to follow our golden thread towards greater clarity, receptivity and awareness. Talk given on a retreat for women who have asked for ordination as part of a series on ‘The Group, the Individual and The Spiritual Community’ given at Tiratanaloka...

Here, Sangharakshita emphasises the importance of distinguishing Buddhism as a universally applicable path of development from the specifically Eastern cultural forms it has been associated with in the past, and explains why an authentic, non-sectarian Buddhist movement is needed in the West. Excerpted from the talk entitled Western Buddhists and Eastern Buddhism, part of the series A New Buddhist Movement - the Meaning of the FWBO, 1979.
