Key Facts

  • Sangharakshita's 1979 visit included an evening question-and-answer meeting and puja with over a hundred people from Edinburgh and across Scotland.
  • A larger new centre was being arranged at Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow's main commercial street, during his visit.
  • Kovida, a native Glaswegian, was Sangharakshita's companion on this visit; his parents lived in Dumbarton.

“Kovida and I found ourselves in the spacious, colourfully decorated hallway of the large flat which accommodates both the present Glasgow Centre and its supporting community.”
