Speaking at the Birmingham Buddhist Centre in February 1999, Sangharakshita explains his poem 'The Scholars', drawing out a number of important points.He distinguishes between three types of disciple; the Faith follower, the Doctrine follower and the Body Witness, and asks whether these three types can make the same amount of spiritual progress.In so doing, Sangharakshita looks at the three levels of Wisdom and offers a way of interpreting this traditional formulation.He also describes what it is to be a western Buddhist, with a rich cultural heritage and suggest how to read books on Buddhism.
