Welcome to the Home page of the Buddhist
Forum for the South East of England

As the url implies, this is about the Buddha Dharma/Dhamma and how it inspires people in their daily life.

The site is under construction, and it will remain so for a while. So do expect to see changes on an ongoing basis, as well as new features and material progressively added on, and perhaps removed too. Please bear with us while the development is taking place and do let us know what you think of it all.

The Forum stands for tolerance, openness, cooperation, and aims to bring together individuals and groups from different traditions and cultural backgrounds operating primarily in the South East of England, but not limited to it.

The sites aims at providing a focal point, forums and other facilities, reference material and information primarily for all individuals involved in outreach work, including : Chaplaincy in the NHS, Prisons, HM Forces, Immigration Centres,  Schools & Universities, etc; Interfaith activities; Hospices ; SACRE and Religious Education, and other community based work.

Also we will attempt to present an overview of the rich variety of Buddhist groups and traditions present in the region, how they related to the original Teachings, their cultural and historical background, their rituals and festivities, for the benefit of the volunteers themselves as well as Local Authorities and the public at large.
