Nigel Edmonds
Reflections

Nigel Edmonds is a British-born writer, artist and spiritual teacher who lives with his wife Mary in rural Thailand. Over the course of many years, he belonged to, and departed from, Catholic, Buddhist and Western Zen monastic communities. He brings an eclectic and often irreverent viewpoint to the evolving dialogue between Buddhism and Christianity.

In the year 2000, Nigel led a Buddhist-Christian dual-practice retreat at Mercy Center, Burlingame, California. A video portrait made during that retreat by Mark Werlin is available on DVD by request through this website.
