Dear Reader,

Thank You for your interest in my Studies in Buddhadharma. It goes without saying that the opinions expressed here are not definitive and that their authenticity is backed by nothing more than three decades of personal study, reflection & meditation.

More than any other object, texts published on the WWW are examples of impermanent, assembled and non-substantial phenomena.

All mistakes in these pages are entirely my own.
I forsee many changes to come.
Some pages are still Under Construction !

Grateful to the authors mentioned in my Bibliography, I'm especially thankful to those learned & wise Tibetan Lamas for their wonderful teachings, translations of & commentaries on root texts. The Tibetan tradition is a millenarian depot of all aspects of the Buddhadharma.

Since 1959, Tibetan & Western scholars have worked tirelessly and with hermeneutic excellence. So much has become available in books, films, DVDs, on the Internet, etc. This material invites comparison with non-Buddhist views. At present, many excellent texts are only available in Tibetan and so more work will have to be done.

With a very grateful heart, I would like to give thanks to :

Jiddu Krishnamurti, who's teachings inspired the teenager to seek the meaning of meditation and be aware of the dangers of spiritual schools & their authorities.
Michel Gauquelin, who prompted me to thoroughly study the scientific aspects of Western astrology.
Henri van Praag, introducing me to the extraordinary discipline of parapsychology.
Erik Oger, doctor subtilis, imparting the epistemology of Immanuel Kant and the tenets of Western Criticism.
Dada Amitabha, a tantric monk who, in 1983, empowered me to practice the Tantra system advocated by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (Ananda Marga). Of the two empowerments I ever requested, this was the first.
Jozef Alaerts, introducing me in 1985 to the mysticism of Beatrice of Nazareth, a 13th century Flemish Cistercian nun.
Maxwell Cade, who, together with Geoffrey Blundell, developed the Omega GSR, the Therapeutic Strobe & the Mind Mirror EEG, enabling me, from 1986 onward, to functionalize altered states of consciousness.
Lama Thubten Yeshe, who's tantalizing teachings & books introduced me to Buddhist Tantra.

In particular, I wish to testify the strong affiliations between my personal mental inclinations and the work & teachings of Protector Nāgārjuna, Guru Rinpoche and Lama Tsongkhapa.
