Humble before the Void
A Western Astronomer, his Journey East, and a Remarkable Encounter Between Western Science and Tibetan Buddhism
By Chris Impey; Foreword by Lama Dalai
Templeton Press
Humble before the Void also recounts Impey’s experiences outside the classroom, from the monks’ eagerness to engage in pick-up basketball games and stream episodes of hip American sitcoms to the effects on his relationship with the teenage son who makes the trip with him. Moments of profound serenity and beauty in the Himalayas are contrasted with the sorrow of learning that other monks have set themselves on fire to protest the Chinese oppression in Tibet.
