Description
British Buddhism: Teachings, Practice and Development
This comprehensive study explores the seven largest Buddhist traditions in the UK, examining how they have evolved from their Asian roots. Through extensive fieldwork, Robert Bluck sheds light on the changing nature of British Buddhist groups and the emergence of new forms.
Until now, there has been a lack of documentation on the full range of teachings and practice within British Buddhism. This book fills this gap, providing an important reference point for further studies in this increasingly popular field.
