Talk Details

Having considered Buddhism (in 'The Buddha - Man or Superman' and 'Evolution: Lower and Higher') in terms of process in time, and the Buddha himself as a historical figure, Sangharakshita now uses stories and quotations from the scriptures to show that the Buddha and reality are ultimately outside time.

Talk given in 1966.
