ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many streams have flowed into the making of this book. It contains nothing original. I have drawn without stint from the writings and lectures of my friends and my teacher. In particular, Andrew Skilton’s Concise History of Buddhism, Vessantara’s Meeting the Buddhas, and Kamalasila’s Meditation, the Buddhist Way to Tranquillity and Insight have all been helpful, as has Stephen Batchelor’s The Awakening of the West.

Without the writings and works of my teacher, Sangharakshita, I’d have nothing worthwhile to say. If this book has any merit, it is all due to him. I have drawn on all his books, most particularly The Three Jewels, Vision and Transformation, A Guide to the Buddhist Path and The Ten Pillars of Buddhism.

Sangharakshita, Kamalasila and Nagabodhi read the manuscript and made many helpful comments. Vishvapani took on extra work to give me the time to write. I am grateful to them all.
