Description

British Buddhism offers an in-depth examination of contemporary Buddhist practice across the United Kingdom, drawing on extensive fieldwork to explore how the seven largest Buddhist traditions have evolved within Western contexts. The book surveys major traditions including the Forest Sangha and Samatha Trust (both Theravada lineages), the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition (Soto Zen), Soka Gakkai, the Tibetan Karma Kagyu and New Kadampa traditions, and Friends of the Western Buddhist Order. This critical study investigates the significant transformations these Buddhist groups have undergone as they have adapted from their Asian origins to establish roots in Britain, examining the extent to which Western Buddhist communities maintain or reinterpret traditional teachings and practices. Published by Routledge as part of their Critical Studies in Buddhism series, this scholarly resource provides valuable insights for students of religion, Buddhist practitioners, and anyone interested in understanding how Eastern spiritual traditions take shape within modern Western societies.
