Lama Jampa will talk about ‘Wisdom in Exile - Buddhism and Modern Times’.

Wisdom in Exile provides a new insight into Buddhism’s encounter with Western culture and the Western mind in the early 21st century. It explores the space that now exists for Buddhism in the West, and identifies critical conflicts and tensions that must be resolved for modern Westerners to grasp the essence of the Buddhist teachings. The book culminates with detailed instructions in the meditation system of ‘The Four Immeasurables’, allowing the reader to properly orientate themselves within the world of Buddhism and learn how to practice.

“Wisdom in Exile proposes a fresh approach to Buddhism, one in which the fundamental tenets of the Buddha’s teachings are rediscovered.”

His Holiness Sakya Trichen, 41st Head of the Sakya School of Tibetan Buddhism

“We live in a time when it can appear that the road to wisdom has been lost and its very existence forgotten. In its place is merely a dead-end street full of stale ideologies. Yet the path that Buddha set forth some two-and- a-half millennia ago is still there for us, even in these modern times, if we care to find it.”

Lama Jampa Thaye, Wisdom in Exile
