The PLBF is not an organisation; it is an organism characterised by its functioning.
As well as no constituted structure it has no leaders and no led, no officials and no 'second-class citizens'.
We value the freedom of all to explore the life of the spirit and to accept or reject what is helpful or unhelpful to them.

We are influenced and guided by the life of the Buddha and his teachings but we have had to come to terms with our own inability to live up to it by our own efforts.

Mercifully, we have come across that all-embracing Other-Power which makes selfhood redundant - and we are grateful for all those who with us in fellowship, rely on that Other-Power, whatever name given.

We do not seek to set up a platform, preach, teach, proselytise or indulge in propaganda.
We have nothing to do with the missionary spirit which, unless we are enlightened, is at best an excuse for well-intentioned self- assertion.
Nevertheless, we hope to be outward-looking and to share our joy with all.
