Lecture
A new MP3 of an Alan James talk has been posted to the Teaching page. "The Wisdom of the Buddha" was delivered in 1999, a time of change as we entered a new millenium. The message of the talk is simple: practising Buddhists should have little to worry about regarding the future. Act with love, compassion and wisdom and you will be safe even in the midst of total insecurity.

Free places have become available on the remaining residential courses this season. Please check the Retreats page for details.
