In today\\u2019s FBA Podcast, Sangharakshita goes to Buddhafield! \\u201d A first for him, and a first for the fabulous Buddhafield Festival that takes place each year at the height of the English summer. This talk, \\u201cEntering the Sangha\\u201d was given in a tent in Devon \\u2013 and the sounds of this great Dharma celebration are everywhere around as Sangharakshita marks his entry to the \\u2018Dharma Parlour\\u2019 with a rolling set of thoughts and reminiscences and encouragements to practice. We move from India at the time of the peaceful revolution of \\u2018untouchable\\u2019 caste Hindus, to the famed hot-tubs of the festival itself. And we are introduced to the first \\u2018three fetters\\u2019 from the Buddha\\u2019s teaching, the breaking of which will set us free. This is classic Sangharakshita \\u2013 plenty to challenge and plenty to talk about around the fire afterwards.

With an excellent and thoughtful introduction by Kamalashila.
