Ven. Lama Mepham
Professor Burris asked Mepham about his life story, and Mepham replied, "for many reasons, my life is difficult to explain. I have no immediate plans for the future; however, if anyone is interested in Buddha dharma, I will be happy to share my thoughts on that. While I am a teacher, I also consider myself to be a student as well, and would be happy to learn when the opportunity presents itself. I myself practice Buddha dharma and apply it to my daily life to the best of my abilities." Lama Mepham continued, "I will happily assist anyone who is interested in practicing Buddha dharma from any spiritual tradition. This, in a nutshell, is the story of my life." Lama Mepham will be teaching classes in meditation and Tibetan arts in conjunction with the Tibetan Cultural Institute of Arkansas. He is also assisting Ven. Geshe Thupten Dorjee with his numerous duties at the University of Arkansas. Both the growing sangha in northwest Arkansas and the students at the University are indeed fortunate to have such an accomplished teacher and meditator in their midst; Lama Mepham has quickly become a cherished member of the community. |

Lama Mepham's story is a simple one. Introduced to Geshe Dorjee by Lama Thinley of Little Rock,
Lama Mepham soon met Professor Sidney Burris.
While Lama Mepham was visiting in Fayetteville, Professor Burris learned that he had completed two 3-year retreats,
and so he and Geshe la wondered if Lama Mepham might be interested in remaining in Fayetteville to offer instruction
in both meditation and philosophy.
