Towards the end of his life Chogyam Trungpa, an influential lama who fled from Tibet to the West, read the story of the Irish saint Colmcille, and recognised in it an echo of his own Buddhist and pre-Buddhist practice with its close affinity with nature. Celtic Buddhism doesn't attempt to define itself as religious or anything at all, except perhaps in terms of tracks left on a path by the side of a particularly vivid mind-stream. This book is a personal story of the author's many years of looking for this path between Buddhism and Celtic Christianity. It can serve as a guide to the signs to look for. The Celts were once spread across Europe. They are our common ancestors and are still with us in the land, in the soil of our psyche. To reconnect with our roots is to find direction for the future, in a world increasingly estranged from nature and her ways.
