A Buddhist View series

Charlie Chaplin observed, ‘Loneliness is the theme

of everyone.’ Although true, it is equally true that we

all very skilfully, and often unconsciously, organize

our lives in such a way as to avoid loneliness.

Drawing on a wide range of sources – the poets

Dickinson and Hafiz, the painter Edward Hopper,

the sage Milarepa, the lives of Helen Keller and Chris

McCandless, and of course the Buddha – Sarvananda

explores the themes of isolation, loneliness and

solitude from a Buddhist perspective and examines

how and why our relationship to ourselves can be a

source of both suffering and liberation.

Born and educated in Glasgow, Sarvananda

(Alastair Jessiman), a member of the Triratna

Buddhist Order, now lives in Norwich, where

he teaches Buddhism and meditation. He has

written ten plays and two comedy series for

broadcast on BBC Radio.
