  A woman meditates with friends in a residential community in London. An Indian Buddhist teaches meditation to hundreds of people in the corwded corridor of a Bombay slum. An artist struggles to create his latest Buddha statue, combining classical Greek forms with traditional Asian ones. In a remote Spanish valley, a man follows a simple life of renunciation. These are images of some of the people who follow the Buddha's teachings within the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order. The FWBO is a modern Buddhist movement that applies the universal insights of Buddha to today's conditions. This book explains the principles and activities of the FWBO and describes its development and spread across the world.
