ABSTRACT

A number of scholarly ideas concerning the relationship between Buddhism and British culture and the nature of the transplantation process have been explored and subjected to critical scrutiny throughout this study. In this concluding chapter, I return to the framework adopted in the opening chapter to structure a comparative discussion of the NKT and OBC. Before doing this, though, our historical analysis of the NKT and OBC will be brought up to date with a discussion about recent developments within the organisations.
