Delivering this talk at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre Sangharakshita beautifully evokes a sense of the spiritual path as a journey, following in the footsteps of the Buddha. He gradually works towards the central image by tracing his early interest in writing and literature and explaining how this lead him towards the Dharma. Then weaving a commentary into the verses of his poem ‘Sripada’, or ‘Footprints of delight’, he recounts events and observations from his own life.
