Buddhism is still a fairly new religion in the UK, but communities within the wider community are growing. In Ipswich, there's a house for men who wish to live a more spiritual lifestyle although they all hold down 'normal' jobs as well.

In this film, Tim talks about his outlook on modern life, why he became a buddhist, about recycling and his dayjob. He interviews people who volunteer at the Ipswich Buddhist Centre and the Evolution shop on the Cornhill.

He also takes a trip to the outdoor Buddhafield festival in the West Country which is a much larger-scale version of the Buddhafield East event which takes place in the Suffolk countryside every summer.

Another member of the Ipswich Buddhist Centre, Dayasara (aka Martin Hilary), has made a film about how the UK is going to care for the growing and ageing population of people who've never got married. Click on VIDEO NATION: Care >>
