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. |

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). |

I
have visited a high number of Tibetan settlements studying
Tibetan Buddhist culture. Interested?
