Dennis Lingwood, who took the name Sangharakshita, has played a major part in the introduction of Buddhism to the West. This first volume of memoirs takes readers from the streets of wartime London to the dusty villages, ashrams and mountain caves of India.
At the age of 16 Dennis Lingwood sensed that he was - and always had been - a Buddhist. This realization was to act as the motive force behind a life in which Lingwood, who took the name Sangharakshita, has played a major part in the introduction of Buddhism to the West. In this first volume of memoirs he traces his development from a childhood dominated by illness and books to homeless wandering and ordination as a Buddhist monk. It takes readers from the streets of wartime London to the dusty villages, ashrams and mountain caves of India.

A respected translator and author of over fifty books, Sangharakshita began studying BUddhism at the age of 16. After 20 years studying in India he returned to England and set up the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order which has over 65 centres worldwide, including the USA.
