TRIRATNA BUDDHIST COMMUNITY The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO)

The Triratna Buddhist Community (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 is spreading around the globe, the task is to create new Buddhist traditions relevant to the 21st century.

During the past 40 years the FWBO has become one of the largest Western Buddhist movements, with activities in many cities and rural retreat centres around the world.
