Community and Responsibility - 1990

This book has been printed to commemorate the completion of the new meditation hall at Bodhinyanarama Buddhist Monastery in 1990. In deciding what to print for this commemorative issue it was felt that a book which was merely historical would be quickly dated, and thus a broader theme seemed more worthwhile.

With present day concerns about the lack of strong extended families and supportive community networks, it was felt that writings which addressed the subject of community might be a timely contribution to the well-being of our society.
