Title
FWBO Boston - Meditation and Buddhism in Davis Square Somerville
Description
About the FWBO
One of Buddhism's strengths is its ability to adapt to each new culture it encounters. Throughout history, it has evolved and taken many new forms in order to reach people of widely different backgrounds. At the same time, remarkably, it never loses touch with its essential truths.
Continuing in that tradition, the FWBO aims to bring Buddhism to our contemporary western society. Founded in 1967 by an Englishman named Sangharakshita, the FWBO expresses the central principles of Buddhism in ways that are relevant to men and women living in a modern world.
Commitment is primary, lifestyle is secondary
As Buddhists we express our commitment through our devotion to the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma (the teachings), and the Sangha (the spiritual community). In many traditions, the primary way to do this is to become a monk or a nun. We recognize that in our society, this is a choice that most can't or aren't willing to make for a whole variety of reasons. In the FWBO, we believe it's possible to express our commitment without making a radical departure from our modern lifestyles.
