About this episode

Sangharakshita discusses the historical background of current world problems and the role of spiritual communities in addressing them.

Sangharakshita outlines his view of the historical background to current world problems (essentially, problems within and between groups), which can only be solved by people either withdrawing support from groups or influencing them positively through an experience of Spiritual Communities. Excerpted from the talk entitled Evolution or Extinction: Current World Problems given as part of the series Where do we go from here? , 1971. *** Help us keep FBA Podcasts free for everyone!
