| | SFBC--What is an Order member? |
| | The Western Buddhist Order (WBO) is a spiritual community of men and women who have committed themselves to working toward Enlightenment. | | | The heart of Buddhist ethics is non-violence or loving-kindness. | | | Some Order members work in the nonprofit community, some in business, some are artists, some are given partial support to work full- or part-time at a center, some are married and live with their families, some are celibate, some are gay, some live with spiritual friends, and some live alone---not that this exhausts the possibilities! |

| | What is a Cult? The mind control process in the FWBO. |
| | Paradoxes are also well established in Buddhist teaching, as for example the Zen koan of 'the sound of one hand clapping'. | | | This mutuality of respect is exemplified within the Buddhist tradition by, for example, the Zen saying, or koan, that the only difference between a Zen Master and an ordinary person is that the Zen Master knows that there is no difference and the ordinary person doesn't. | | | Meditation is somewhat dependent on its context, and in Buddhist teaching, meditation practice is accompanied by the observance of ethical precepts. |
