    The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) is a Buddhist movement founded in London in 1967. It seeks to create the conditions needed for the effective practice of Buddhism in modern society. It has grown into a varied and energetic tradition of practice, and communal institutions.
    The Western Buddhist Order, around which the FWBO is focused, is a spiritual community of men and women who have committed themselves to following the Buddhist path to Enlightenment. Order members have made that commitment - traditionally known as going for Refuge to the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha - the central point of their lives. In particular, they have chosen to make the WBO the context in which they are trying to gain Enlightenment.
    Having returned to England in the mid-1960s, FWBO founder Sangharakshita saw the need for a new Buddhist movement that was faithful to the values and teachings of the Buddhist tradition and was relevant to the conditions of the modern world. This meant avoiding the twin dangers of transplantation and adaptation. Sangharakshita believed it would be a mistake to try to practise an Asian form of Buddhism in the very different conditions he now found himself. At the same time he did not want to water Buddhism down to suit modern tastes. Instead he attempted to base the new movement on the core teachings that underlie all the schools of Buddhism, and to apply their principles in the modern world.

    Buddhism
    Welcome to our section dedicated to the Buddhist community in London There is a thriving Buddhist community in London. Although its societies differ in tradition, they all share the goal of making an inner change in order to create a happier, healthier planet. Buddhism is based on a 2,500 year old teaching of Siddartha Gautama, or Shakyamuni Buddha, in India. The largest Buddhist movement in the capital is Soka Gakkai (Value Creation society) International. Together with Tibetan, Zen, Thai, Friends of the Western Buddhist Order and New Kadampa Tradition, the community is ever growing, as more and more people seek to return to spiritual values in the materialistic and fast moving London. The first ever Buddhist mission in the UK was established in 1908 by Charles Henry Allan Bennet, who had been ordained as a Buddhist monk in Burma. By founding The London Buddhist Vihara in West London, the Sri Lankan Buddhist scholar and religious propagandist called Anagarika Dharmapala (previously Don David) ensured the continuation of Buddhism in the UK.

    The FWBO is an international network dedicated to communicating Buddhist truths in ways appropriate to the modern world. The essence of Buddhism is timeless and universal. But the forms it takes always adapt according to context. Now that Buddhism has come to the West, the task is to create new Buddhist traditions relevant to the 21st century. During the past 35 years the FWBO has become one of the largest Buddhist movements, with activities in many cities around the world.

    Sangharakshita,
    conscripted in World War II (as Dennis Lingwood) and posted to Ceylon/Sri Lanka, stayed in South Asia for the next 20 years. During that time, Theravadin elders ordained him as a monk in their tradition, naming him Sangharakshita. Both before and after his ordination, he visited and lived in different parts of India.
    In India,
    Sangharakshita made a point of studying and directly observing as much as he could of the various religious traditions that surrounded him. Buddhists from Tibet, living in Northern India at the time, influenced him in ways that carry over into the FWBO today.

    The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) - a new shoot on a 2500 year old trunk. The Buddha didn't drive a car. He didn't have to take a stance on GM technology or European integration, and he managed without a computer. All the same, his teaching is just as relevant now as it was 2500 years ago, and is today one of the fastest-growing spiritual traditions in the western world. Since 1967, the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) has been presenting Buddhist teaching and practice in a way which is particularly suited to people in an industrialised society. Gunaketu here gives a short overview of this tradition. Buddhism in a nutshell The FWBO is the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order, and draws inspiration from the Buddha. Buddhism is a spiritual tradition which through teaching and practice help people to develop that compassionate love, wisdom and vitality we all have in potential. It is a treasury of advice and inspiration for those who want to develop their mind and being to ever higher levels. It is a way of life that has freedom as its essence and culminates in Enlightenment. The Buddha was the first person who, 2500 years ago in northern India, woke up to how the reality we live in really is. He was not divine, and certainly not a God, but a human being who after many years of determined searching realised his potential. After a gradual but radical transformation, he conquered all the limitations we as human beings struggle with. Thus emancipated, he did not withdraw, but wandered round India showing others how they could undergo the same transformation. It is this insight and these methods that over the millennia have been called the Buddha-dharma (Buddha's way), or in the last hundred years - Buddhism.

    FRIENDS of the western buddhist order (fwbo)
    The FWBO was founded in 1967, and is one of the principal Buddhist movements in the UK, India, and Australasia as well as being increasingly well-established in Western Europe and the USA.
    Whilst deriving inspiration from the Buddhist tradition as a whole, the FWBO has a coherent approach to Buddhist practice drawing on techniques, texts and teachings in a systematic way that supports spiritual development.
    There are some Order Members who are celibate monks or nuns, others who live with their partners and families, or alone, or with spiritual friends. Ordination into the WBO is defined in terms of spiritual commitment, not in terms of lifestyle.

The FWBO is now an International Buddhist Movement with over sixty Centres spanning 5 continents, and with over 1,000 Order Members. Sangharakshita, and more recently other senior Order Members, have written numerous books on Buddhism, and the practice of Buddhist life in the Modern world, many of which can be bought on-line from Windhorse publications You can read by Sangharakshita:

    About the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO)
    Traditional Buddhism in the East has taken many different forms, according the culture in which it has found itself. This variety that they present to someone who begins to take interest in Buddhism for the first time can be very confusing. How can the schools of Zen, Jodo Shin, Nicheren and Tibetan Buddhism all belong to one single tradition? It can be difficult to distinguish between what is the essence of Buddhism (Dhamma or Dharma) and what are simply cultural traditions. The aim of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) is to seek out the core of the Buddhas teaching that is found in all the traditions and present within the modern Western context. There are many web sites with information about the FWBO. Here are one or two that we can recommend: The main website of the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order The Wikipedia entry about the FWBO TBMSG - the Indian wing of the FWBO Meditation in the FWBO ... The FWBO in Canada and the United States The FWBO in Paris, France
