Introduction
This book is intended primarily as a tribute to the late Venerable Kapila-
vaððho Bhikkhu (William August Purfurst, known later as Richard
Randall) for whom the English Sangha Trust was formed.He stands out as
a man who started and developed the founding of the first English Theravæda
Sangha in the Western world. For the sake of context it includes a very brief
history of the development of Theravæda Buddhism in the UK. Only the
major steps of this development have been recorded here, though many
other groups have contributed to the spreading of Buddhism in the UK.
This book has been compiled by the editor as a way of saying thank you
to the Venerable Kapilavaððho and to all past Buddhists who, through
their interest and hard work, have provided for him, and countless others,
the opportunity to benefit from the Buddha’s teaching. Hence the title
“Honour Thy Fathers”.

book may be downloaded/printed from either www.aimwell.org
