Sangha Speaks portrays a distinctively contemporary, Western version of the timeless Eastern path to Enlightenment. In this eclectic collection of poems, essays, and stories, the students of the Los Angeles, California-based Hard Light Center of Awakening share their personal accounts of treading the spiritual path--their difficulties and victories, their triumphs and tears. The resulting anthology reflects the diversity of their experiences in studying with an enlightened teacher, Mark Griffin, the founder the the Center.
