DEDICATION: This site was inspired by the example of Alan and Jacqui James whose energy and vision brought to fruition a centre in Bradford on Avon pristine and uncompromising in its following of the Buddha’s teaching.

The site is dedicated to the work of Paul Harris (https://aukana.org.uk/teachers.html) who continues Alan and Jacqui’s work and inspires and encourages anyone who is willing to apply themselves to this sublime teaching – a true Kalyāna Mitta.
