The
Gate of Dharma Buddhist College
|
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.

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).

Tibetan settlements studying Tibetan Buddhist culture. ]Interested?
