Dr Murdo MacDonald-Bayne, the second son of a farming family, was born in 1887 in the Highlands of Scotland. After studying to become a medical doctor he went on to achieve Doctorates in Divinity and Philosophy before being commissioned in the British Army and serving with distinction in the Great War. He was awarded the British War Medal, the Victory Medal and the Military Cross after being badly wounded in France. He then turned his back on returning to a promising medical career in Scotland in order to travel and research some of the major world religions. His research eventually led him to the most remote corners of the Himalayas. It was in Tibet that he was taught by Masters and monks in monasteries and lamaseries who prepared him for a life of healing and lecturing throughout the world. Dr MacDonald-Bayne's writings and recorded lectures ensure his timeless legacy of healing and teaching an uncomplicated spirituality continues.
