Navigating spirituality in an age of doubt

Prepare for a mind-expanding evening as Bolton-born Buddhist meditation master, scholar, and international speaker Lama Jampa Thaye returns to his roots to deliver an illuminating talk on how ancient wisdom can guide us through modern uncertainty.

With warmth, wit, and over 50 years of dedicated practice, Lama Jampa will address the pressing question: How can we find meaning and direction in a world full of doubt?

Lama Jampa offers a profound yet practical perspective on spirituality, drawing compelling parallels between Buddhist teachings and Western literature and philosophy.

This isn’t just a talk for practicing Buddhists—it’s a thought-provoking experience for anyone seeking clarity, purpose, and a fresh start as the New Year approaches.

A Voice of Wisdom and Humour

“The ultimate source of suffering is actually our misunderstanding of the nature of the world,” Lama Jampa explains. With his characteristic intelligence and humour, he will challenge common assumptions and inspire listeners to take their lives into their own hands—moving beyond reliance on external forces like fate, genetics, or divine intervention.

Why This Talk Matters Now

As many of us reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the future, Lama Jampa’s insights offer a transformative approach to navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re a lifelong spiritual seeker or simply curious about Buddhism’s relevance in the modern age, this event promises to leave you inspired and uplifted.
