  Throughout his extraordinary life, Sangharakshita has touched the lives of many thousands of people, wandering barefoot across India in search of spiritual teachings, befriending hermits and lamas, working among the socially deprived, and later founding a worldwide community of Buddhist practitioners, the FWBO. In these letters Sangharakshita shares, often in intimate detail, what it is like to be Sangharakshita. He reflects deeply on his experience and reveals what is in his mind as he goes about his life in London, Italy, New Zealand, Wales, the USA, Germany and Spain. Sangharakshita places an exceptionally high value on friendship, not merely as an ideal, but as a lived reality. In offering these letters he is trying to give the reader the chance to partake of his friendship and to become a companion not only in his travels, but also of his heart and mind.
