About the Event

 

BUDDHISM FOR MODERN TIMES
Lama Jampa Thaye

 

Drawing on his background, as both a fully qualified vajrayana master and an academic of Tibetan Buddhism, Lama Jampa Thaye presents an engaging and timely analysis of Buddhist thought. In an intelligent and culturally accessible manner he differentiates between different spiritual and philosophical systems whilst illuminating the fact that there is no need to re-invent Buddhism but rather to teach the old tradition in an intelligent way.
