The memories, dreams and reflections of a modern lama born in the
West who became heir to the traditions of Tibetan Buddhism. River
of Memory: Dharma Chronicles tells the remarkable story of the
scholar and meditation master Lama Jampa Thaye - one of the first
fully authorised masters of the Tibetan Buddhist tradition born and
brought up in the West. Lama Jampa recounts his beginnings as a boy
born in a Catholic family in the northwest of England, from his
first encounters with Buddhism and glimpses of the nature of
reality, to receiving private teachings from some of the greatest
Tibetan masters of the 20thcentury, and ultimately becoming an
authorised master of the Sakya and Karma Kagyu Traditions,
establishing Buddhist centres and groups around the world and
working tirelessly to spread the life-changing teachings of the
Buddha to thousands of students worldwide. River of Memory provides
an extraordinary series of snapshots of the time for Buddhism in
the West, chronicling the first visits of Tibetan masters in the
late twentieth century, giving a vivid picture of the condition of
Buddhism in the modern world, whether North America, Europe or
Asia, and reflecting on the ongoing interaction of Buddhism and
Western culture. Accounts such as this are extremely important to
the preservation of the purity of the Buddhist tradition as they
enable students to verify the authenticity of a teacher's
qualifications and so develop confidence.
