The Gate of Dharma Buddhist College

Research During my college years I have been on two expeditions to the Himalayas both carrying interests for my » Buddhist studies and » cultural anthropology research. 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.
