The Centre for Applied Buddhism
On Saturday 31st March 2012 the Centre for Applied Buddhism was launched at Taplow Court. This is a centre for investigation into contemporary ideas and their relationship with Buddhist philosophy.
Jamie Cresswell, director of the Centre for Applied Buddhism (who can be reached at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

“We will focus on Buddhism and its application to people’s lives in order to understand and develop our place in the modern world; looking at topics such as psychotherapy, war and peace, economics, science, the digital world, creativity, the environment, ethics, gender and sexuality,” he said.
A new website will be up and running by end-May (www.appliedbuddhism.org.uk).
The large library built up over the years will carry on its broad brief: collecting material on all aspects of Asian cultures, religions and philosophies, as well as western philosophies, where relevant. There is a lending library too, open to all who subscribe. Please contact Sarah Norman, their librarian, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
