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. I was appointed an associate professor of philosophy in 2000. 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). |
