Dear Reader,

Thank You for your interest in my ongoing Studies in Buddhadharma. The opinions expressed here are not definitive and their authenticity backed by nothing more than three decades of personal study, reflection & meditation.

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

All mistakes in these pages are entirely my own.
I forsee many changes to come.
For what can empty concepts convey of the fullness of the original radiance of the mind ?

Grateful to the authors mentioned in my Bibliography, I'm especially thankful to Tibetan & Western scholars for their translations of & commentaries on Buddhist texts. The Tibetan tradition is a millenarian depot or magister of all aspects relating to the Buddhadharma.

Since 1959, Tibetan & Western scholars have worked tirelessly and with hermeneutic excellence. So much has become available in books, films, on DVDs, the Internet, etc.

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

• Jiddu Krishnamurti, who's teachings inspired the teenager to be aware of the dangers of spiritual schools & their authorities.
• Michel Gauquelin, who -from the start- prompted me to thoroughly study the scientific validity of Western astrology.
• Henri van Praag, introducing me in 1982 to the extraordinary discipline of parapsychology.
• Dada Amitabha, a monk practicing the Tantric system advocated by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti (Ananda Marga), who, in 1983, initiated my daily practice of meditation.
• Erik Oger, doctor subtilis, imparting -in 1984- the epistemology of Immanuel Kant and the tenets of Western Criticism ; a shock !
• Joseph Alaerts, s.J., 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 objectively functionalize altered states of consciousness.
• sister Paule of the Trinity, my grandniece and spiritual mentor between the death of my father (1986) and her own in 1993.
• Tenzin Gyatzo, a simple Buddhist monk, who inspired me to take refuge in the Three Jewels (2006).

In particular, I wish to testify my strong connection between my mindstream and the work & teachings of Protector Nâgârjuna, Guru Rinpoche and Lama Tsongkhapa.
