Hello all, and welcome to the new AWB website. We are currently looking to build this new community and as such we are in need of people to supply articles about Buddhism or their experiences, this can be any short piece about your journey.

We are also looking for any member who wish to share photos or other media.

The Association of World Buddhists website has been created to build a free community of people who are interested in Buddhism or Buddhist philosophy from around the world. The AWB is a voluntary association that is open to anyone who wishes to discover more about themselves and the reality in which we all reside, everything here is are free of charge, we are non financial and do not accept donations or monies by any method.

There is no hierarchy or structure to our association, instead it is made up entirely of its members and all members are created equally. Although we do have a few administrative roles, we will not tell you what to be or what to think, we will simply present information. We do, of course, retain the right to remove any obscene or offensive material.

You don't have to class yourself as a Buddhist to join the AWB, we are independent of any religion, sect, type, or brand of Buddhism, and all are welcome. We aim to be the lowest common denominator of Buddhism and therefore share a set of values and identity that is equal in all forms of Buddhist philosophy.

Please feel free to explore the website and join out association, if you have any questions then please feel free to ask.
