The first part of this volume consists of Sangharakshita's writings about Anagarika Dharmapala, a Sri Lankan Buddhist who dedicated his life to restoring the sacred site of Bodh Gaya, and whom Sangharakshita came to revere as one of the great Buddhists of the twentieth century. The second part comprises articles Sangharakshita wrote for the Maha Bodhi journal, first as a regular contributor and then as the editor. These articles include poetic and philosophical reflections on the Dharma, as well as trenchant observations on the Buddhist world and calls to action on the issues of the day. The third part is a collection of book reviews published in the Maha Bodhi journal and other magazines over nearly fifty years, from the days when the appearance of any new translation or commentary was a significant event to more recent times, when readers could choose between hundreds of new titles.
