This book analyses the transplantation, development and adaptation of the two largest Tibetan and Zen Buddhist organizations currently active on the British religious landscape: the New Kadampa Tradition (NKT) and the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives (OBC). The key contributions of recent scholarship are evaluated and organised thematically to provide a framework for analysis, and the history and current landscape of contemporary Tibetan and Zen Buddhist practice in Britain are also mapped out. A number of patterns and processes identified elsewhere are exemplified, although certain assumptions made about the nature of 'British Buddhism' are subjected to critical scrutiny and challenged.

In this volume of memoirs, Sangharakshita arrives back in England after twenty years in the East. He expects to stay no more than a few months, but as the months become years, he begins to realize that it is here that he may best be able to 'work for the good of Buddhism', as one of his teachers had once exhorted him.
