Buddhist
Studies
|
I have studied Buddhism at the Gate of Dharma
Buddhist College in Budapest besides Hindu, Chinese and western
philosophy. I got so deeply involved, that after finishing my MA, I have
decided to stay with the institution and become a Buddhist teacher myself.
Since 1995 I have been teaching a number of different Buddhist subjects as
well as doing research into early Buddhism. My major field of interest is
Tantric Buddhism - especially the cross-cultural interference of Hindu and
Buddhist philosophy and religious practice.

Research
|
I
have been on two expeditions to the Himalayas both carrying interests
for Buddhist research and cultural anthropology.
A
part
of my
first journey took me to Western Tibet, to the Buddhist kingdom of Ladakh
in 1995.
A
part of my
second journey took me to Western Tibet again, to the Buddhist kingdoms
of Lahaul and Spiti and Zanskar in 1998.
Politically
these areas all belong to India, therefore survived the devastating
effects of the Chinese intervention in Tibet and since represent an
ideal research area of relatively untouched Buddhist culture.
I
have also studied some of the monasteries and settlements of Tibetan
refugees in Himachal Pradesh (India) and the Kathmandu-valley (Nepal).
