the fwbo

The FWBO (The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order) 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 is spreading around the globe, the task is to create new traditions relevant to the 21st century. During the past 40 years or so, the FWBO has become one of the largest Buddhist movements, with activities in many cities and rural retreat centres around the world.

Dharmachakra offers a selection of talks from some of these centres in several languages. And many of our friends world wide maintain websites in their native languages. See our links page for more details.

You can also find broad outlines of the FWBO approach to Buddhist practice in the following languages:
