Heather Kempton

Exploring mind, ‘self’, and awareness through science, contemplation, and verse.

Academic work. Buddhist reflections, poetry — not separate domains, but different ways of examining the same question.

Research on mindfulness, cognition, and spiritual transformation.

Buddhist and scholarly publications, including contributions to Thar Lam, and editorial work supporting the transmission of Buddhist texts.

Poetry (Rowan Taw) as a parallel form of inquiry—approaching experience through image, gesture, and what resists explanation.
