About Our Authors

The authors published by Windhorse Publications can come from any tradition of Buddhism. As we focus on Buddhist books for westerners, our authors are those who understand the western mindset as well as having in-depth knowledge of the teachings of Buddhism.

Our current range of authors includes writers from the traditions of Theravada, Tibetan Buddhism and ‘western Buddhism’, Most of our authors come from the Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO), as Windhorse Publications originally began as an FWBO team-based Right Livelihood business.
