Instead of the traditional description of the Fourth Noble Truth - the Eightfold Path - Saccanama\\xa0 explores Sangha as a means to counter the individualism of our times. What exactly is the true meaning of Sangha? And how can the mysterious \\u2018third order of consciousness\\u2019 or Bodhicitta help us to transcend our preoccupation with ourselves? He looks at three stories from Buddhist tradition that explore the true meaning of Sangha - the Anuruddhas, the Pure Land and the passage from the Vimalakirti Nirdesa about the 500 Licchavi youths. Concluding the series as a whole, he shares some personal experiences of Sangha.

This talk is part of the series\\xa0Challenging Dharma for Challenging Times given at Nottingham Buddhist Centre, 2020.
