| • | Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) is a Buddhist movement that was founded in the UK by Sangharakshita (formerly Dennis Lingwood) in 1967, followed by the Western Buddhist Order in 1968. Sangharakshita spent many years living in India following army service there and was ordained as a Theravadin bhikkhu in 1949. He returned to the UK in 1964 at the request of the English Sangha Trust. He came to the opinion that, despite considerable interest in the Buddhist teachings (Dharma), Buddhism in Britain was formalistic and sectarian. He then set out to start a new Buddhist movement which became neither lay nor monastic.
