Wisdom in Exile | Free Book
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. Jampa
Thaye has trained for over 40 years with some of the foremost lamas of
Tibetan Buddhism, yet is a Westerner, living in Britain, teaching
Buddhism to students throughout Europe and North America. He draws on
that knowledge and experience to explain 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
