Spiritual teacher comes to town
Lama Marut is extensively trained in the spiritual traditions of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism.
THERE was a full house at Karma Yoga Centre, Southbroom last Monday when Lama Marut gave his final talk in South Africa before leaving to tour Germany and Singapore.
Lama Marut (aka Brian K. Smith) is extensively trained in the spiritual traditions of Indian and Tibetan Buddhism.
He holds a PHD in comparative religion and taught for over two decades in the academic world, first at Columbia University and later at the University of California, where he retired as Professor Emeritus in 2004.
He lived as a Buddhist monk for eight years and has served for the past fifteen years as a spiritual teacher to students around the world.
Lama Marut is currently the spiritual director of eight ‘Middle Way Centres’ located in North America, Australia, and Singapore. When not travelling, he resides with his wife, Cindy Lee, in rural Australia.
In addition to several scholarly studies and translations based on Sanskrit materials, he is the author of the popular and award-winning book ‘ A Spiritual Renegade’s Guide to the Good Life’ (Beyond Words, 2012) and his new book, ‘Be Nobody’ (Beyond Words, 2014).
With his unique mixture of erudition and earthiness, intensity and humour, conviction and openness, Lama Marut’s message is easily accessible and life changing.
