Dynamic
lecturer, progressive scholar, and one of the most prolific writers
and translators of Tibetan Buddhism in the West, B. Alan Wallace,
Ph.D., continually seeks innovative ways to integrate Buddhist
contemplative practices with Western science to advance the study
of the mind.
Dr.
Wallace, a scholar and practitioner of Buddhism since 1970, has
taught Buddhist theory and meditation worldwide
since 1976. Having devoted fourteen years to training as a Tibetan
Buddhist monk, ordained by H. H. the Dalai Lama, he went on to
earn an undergraduate degree in physics and the philosophy of
science at Amherst College and a doctorate in religious studies
at Stanford.
With
his unique background, Alan brings deep experience and applied
skills to the challenge of integrating traditional Indo-Tibetan
Buddhism with the modern world. |
