Moving Against the Stream

In this volume of memoirs, Sangharakshita arrives back in England after twenty years in the East. He expects to stay no more than a few months, but as the months become years, he begins to realize that it is here that he may best be able to 'work for the good of Buddhism', as one of his teachers had once exhorted him. After a farewell tour of his friends and teachers in India, he goes on to found a new Buddhist movement and to ordain twelve men and women into a new Buddhist Order.
