Rob Nairn resigned as professor of criminology at the University of Cape Town in 1980 in order to follow his spiritual path. His training in Jungian psychology and Buddhism including a four year isolation retreat at the Samye Ling Tibetan centre in Scotland - enables him to transalte ancient Eastern wisdom into concepts we can understand and apply. Rob was an internationally sought after lecturer in Buddhism and meditation.
At the moment the Tibetan cafe is closed so it may be a good idea to bring your own veggie lunch. Although at some point the cafe may be open again.
We are so delighted to be able to share this amazing film.
