Buddhism is now ‘a culture shaper’, said Dr. Hugh Kemp. There are Buddhist ethnic minorities and Buddhist centres in the UK, but there are now also attempts to develop a British style of Buddhism. Even though the numbers of converts — and there are Christians converting — may be low, there are many others, including non-religious people, who are drawn to aspects of Buddhism.
