On WBO Day 1988, the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Western Buddhist Order, its founder, Sangarakshita, reflects informally on his hopes and fears for the next 20 years.
He touches on a wide range of topics including the handing over of his responsibilities. He exhorts the Order (and the Movement more generally) to practice mindfulness more seriously, to improve politeness and to go out into society to make clear the Buddhist conception of ethics, as well as to take an active part in combatting racial prejudice and develop what he calls “an ecological dimension”.
