At the time Christopher was claiming to have trained in Kung Fu. He also claimed to me that he had been living in a Tibet before attending Selwyn College.
I do not want to go into much detail regarding what I know about Christopher’s background.

In answer to your question: I thought that Christopher’s claims regarding living in Tibet and being trained in Kung Fu were fantasy. It was the mid 1970’s – the things he claimed about himself seemed to be loosely based on the role played by David Carradine in a popular television series. I am not an expert, but I do not feel he showed any proficiency in Kung Fu, except in mimicry.
I referred to his claim that he had been living in Tibet before attending Selwyn College because it is in conflict with how he claims he received his medical training. There appears to be no mention of his going to Tibet as a teenager in his biography.
In my last posting, I stated that Christopher never mentioned receiving private tuition and that he never mentioned an ‘Urgen Nam Chuk’. This was in response to Mariah’s posting on 17/1/2007:

Dorje, if you know people in NZ who have been hurt by him, do you also know what school he attended and during what years? If none of his classmates knew of his supposed teacher, then the story falls apart because he says that his school buddies knew of his extra teachings outside of school.Quote

Dear Lorenzetti, it was good to have some input from you. You seem unsure whether or not to say more. I, like you, also felt sympathy for Christopher but lost it as I saw the harm he was doing. It is difficult to stop people like him.Quote

I feel that things were told to me in confidence. I do not, therefore, want to go into details, except to say that Christopher has lied about his parents and his background. He seems to have done this in order to create a more plausible story with regards to how he received his medical training.
I feel very uncomfortable posting this information on an open forum. To reiterate, I am only doing it because Christopher has abused people’s trust. I think he should be stopped from practicing and feel I am someone who can verify that his claims regarding his medical training are false.
