Delivering this informal talk at Padmaloka in January 2002 (also known as The Six Distinctive Emphases of the FWBO) Sangharakshita starts by reflecting on two recent events in his life - handing on the headship of the Order and the deterioration of his eyesight.
He then speaks in detail about the six distinctive features of the FWBO - that it is ecumenical, with Going for Refuge as central, a unified Buddhist Order, emphasising Right Livelihood, recognising the spiritual value of the arts and the importance of spiritual friendship.
Finally he recalls with feeling his own friendship with Dhardo Rimpoche.
