Friends of the Western Buddhist Order (FWBO) is a Buddhist movement founded by Sangharakshita in 1967 in the UK. It was followed by the foundation of the Western Buddhist Order (WBO) in 1968.

The Friends of the Western Buddhist Order is one of the main Buddhist movements in the UK and in India. There are around eighty FWBO public centres and retreat centres in over twenty countries. These centres teach Meditation, Buddhism, Yoga, and other forms of personal development.

In India the FWBO is known as Trailokya Bauddha Mahasangha Sahayaka Gana (TBMSG), in Spanish speaking countries as Los Amigos de la Orden Budista de Occidente (AOBO), and in France as Les Amis de l'Ordre Bouddhiste Occidental (AOBO).
