British Buddhism: Teachings, Practice and Development (Robert Bluck)
Paperback Edition (ISBN 978-0-415-48308-7)
Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism Series (£20)
British Buddhism presents a useful insight into contemporary British Buddhist practice. It provides a survey of the seven largest Buddhist traditions in the United Kingdom, including the Forest Sangha (Theravada) and the Samatha Trust (Theravada), the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition (Soto Zen) and Soka Gakkai (both originally Japanese), the Tibetan Karma Kagyu and New Kadampa traditions and Friends of the Western Buddhist Order. Based on extensive fieldwork, this fascinating book determines how and to what extent British Buddhist groups are changing from their Asian roots, and whether any forms of British Buddhism are beginning to emerge.

Basing our work on the Buddha's teaching of Right Livelihood, Windhorse Publications seeks to have an ethical and creative approach to work. Besides being aware of the impact of our business on the world around us, we also care about the effect that work has on us. Presenting the teachings of the Buddha to the Western world, we publish works by authors who not only understand the Buddhist tradition but are also familiar with Western culture and the Western mind.
From introductions to Buddhism and meditation to scriptural commentaries and in-depth single-meditation explorations, we offer a breadth of titles that we hope meet the needs of many aspiring and experienced practitioners.Explore our books at www.windhorsepublications.com

Danaloka is a small, privately owned, non profit making organisation which just runs a Retreat Cabin. The owners are associated with the FWBO
Most of the time the cabin is used by people who want to spend a little time alone, away freom the hussle and bussle of everyday life. The cabin is quite ideal for that especially when you consider how quickly you can get there.
It's just 30 minutes from Bow or 45 minutes by car from the City of London and even though it is just inside the M25 it is as if you are deep in the countryside.
