The Buddha Comes to Sussex (1979x16)

Udgivelsesdato: Okt 07, 1979

A small village in West Sussex is faced with the strange prospect of saffron-robed Buddhist monks in its midst. They have just set up their first Western sanctuary for training along strict traditional lines. Part of their tradition is to rely for their food on the local villagers: but how will this go down in West Sussex? This Everyman report follows the monks' attempts to explain what they do and why; and it explores why many Western people are being drawn to Buddhism.
