about the author

For nearly 30 years Richard Winter has studied and practised Buddhism and meditation at the Cambridge Buddhist Centre, and he currently teaches meditation at the Buddhist Centre for students of the Cambridge University of the Third Age. As a Professor of Education at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK, his research was mainly concerned with helping nurses, social workers and teachers to develop reflective, critical and creative methods of working. He is currently involved as a member of a radical political campaigning group and has also been a (frustrated) semi-active member of a political party for several decades.
