This collection of essays is based upon a series of lectures held by the Temenos Academy and the Prince’s Foundation. The essays reflect a variety of faiths but they all address the theme of ‘sanctuary’ within the great spiritual traditions. Whether the tradition be Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, or one of the many that come from the classical culture of India, each author in this series speaks not only from deep knowledge and experience but also from that ‘learning of the imagination’ that lies at the heart of the Temenos Academy. Contents Richard Chartres, Bishop of London Sanctuary in the Christian Tradition: St Ethelburga Bishopsgate; Emma Clark The Islamic Garden; Grevel Lindop Buddhism and the Place of Refuge; Tali Lowenthal Sacred Garden, Sacred World: The Sanctuary in Jewish Teaching; Charles Morris and Mark Hoare The Making of the Sanctuary; Gael Robertson Breathing Spaces; Kapila Vatsyayan Sanctuaries: the Journey of Immanence and Transcendence
