About
the FWBO The
Friends of the Western Buddhist Order was founded by Venerable
Sangharakshita who, although English by birth, spent twenty years in
Asia studying and practicing under teachers from the Theravada,
Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions. Returning to England he became
convinced of the need for a new Buddhist movement in the West, which
would communicate the ideals of Buddhism by drawing inspiration not
only from the three main Buddhist traditions but also from the cultural
and artistic heritage of the West.
The FWBO
has established centers in many countries with each center encouraging
the leading of a Buddhist life based on sound ethical principles and
the creation of a more spiritually helpful environment by participation
in meditation classes, study, retreats, residential communities and
right livelihood businesses. At the heart of the FWBO is the Western
Buddhist Order. The
Western Buddhist Order The
Western Buddhist Order is the spiritual community of men and women who
have committed themselves to the three great Ideals to be found at the
heart of the Buddhist tradition: the Ideal of Human Enlightenment; The
Ideal of the Path of Truth leading to Human Enlightenment; and the
Ideal of Spiritual Friendship for all.
