Welcome to Friends of the
Western Buddhist Order Highlands: a network of Buddhist groups located north of the Caledonian Canal, in Morayshire,
Easter Ross and on the Westen Isles.

Buddhist practice and meditation
are possibly not what come to mind in connection with Scotland and the Scottish Highlands, and while Inverness definitely
does have more churches than Buddhist temples along the banks of the Ness, it is home to one of the FWBO groups who meet to meditate and engage in Buddhist enquiry. It is also home to at least two Tibetan Buddhist groups and one
Zen meditation group.
In Morayshire, along the southern
coast of the Moray Firth, there is an FWBO group who meet weekly to meditate, followers of Thich
Nhat Hanh's mindfulness meditation practice, a Soka Gakkai group who use Buddhist chanting as a way of bringing about
positive mental states and Engaged Buddhists who are seeking ways to apply the insights from meditation practice
and dharma teachings to situations of social, political, and economic suffering and injustice.
