The House is Burning - How to Get Out Alive!

A new book by author Meath Conlan, PhD takes select teachings of a modern-day Buddhist Master and reveals how common ground of inter-spiritual wisdom can be found between his aphorisms, or sayings, and teachings of the Desert Elders from the early Christian centuries (250 AD to Late Roman Antiquity). Khejok Tulku Rinpoche is one of the diminishing numbers of “old teachers” in the Tibetan Tradition. Born in the 1930s, he is regarded as an incarnation of a renowned lama from the 5th Dalai Lama’s time. As a boy he was recognised and installed as Abbot of the second oldest monastery in the Gelugpa tradition of Tibetan Buddhism Dhe Tsang Monastery, in Eastern Tibet. Khejok Rinpoche crossed the Himalayas and eventually came to Australia in 1986. He established centres dedicated to the learning and practice of Buddhism in the Gelug lineage. Meath Conlan, a student and friend of the late Dom Bede Griffiths, met Rinpoche in 1988. The two men have become firm friends - having travelled together to Christian and Buddhist Monasteries in Tibet, India, Nepal and Australia. Throughout the book, original drawings, taken from the author's field notebooks while traveling Tibet and Nepal, will add interest to the readings contained in this book.
