Well spotted thewayishere. www.tibetanway.co.uk is registered to Chris Farmer, trading as NgaRo. The word ngaro seems to be both Tibetan and Maori. Chris Farmer lives in Greenwich in London. The design is not the usual ‘classy’ Hansard but it is quite cleverly set up for search engine efficiency and to sell products on the back of Tibetan culture. Back in 2006 when www.christopherhansar

Mariac, I think it may be more helpful if I respond to your messages publicly. I made it clear way back on this forum that I was briefly a client of Christopher Hansard and that he tried to recruit me as an ‘apprentice’. Apart from that everything else I know is a consequence of my being very well networked. Your story sounds sadly familiar. It is not clear when you last went to Hansard for tr

Sparrow ‘in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king’. The martial arts teacher you refer to was much younger and, perhaps, more impressionable when he met Hansard. If you are in the martial arts scene you could ask the opinion of his teacher in California who met and quickly rejected Hansard as a fraud. Hansard met similar rejection from various skilled martial artists he approached as

Quoterrmoderatorgondolf: You seem to largely defend Hansard. And you repeatedly attempt to do so by claiming his methods somehow work, that people should be forgiving in some way, etc. etc. You also spend quite a bit of time attacking Jeff Bowe, who is the most outspoken critic of Hansard on this thread. The allegations against Hansard are very serious. And it appears he is a fraud

It would seem from the appearance of that Christopher Hansard is desperate to be out in the world. I notice that he is promoting books by a well-known charlatan who goes by the same name so I assume that they are one and the same person. Unfortunately, as of 27 January 2008, Christopher Hansard tells us nothing about himself apart from his pompous quasi-spiritual puffing. On 27 Janu

No, I don't know any more about McDowell. His Nexial Entertainment site is very funny. I'm sorry that I mentioned the Rinpoche as googling his name now brings up this forum. My apologies for that. As I have said, I am sure that the links are simply there to lend credibility. Linking to Hansard is probably good for ratings these days even if his websites have nothing to say anymore.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Well spotted Josey. The website was set up in August by Paul McDowell of Nexial Entertainment in Wisconsin, USA. It supports the work of Padma Gonpo Rinpoche who is said to be a Tibetan teacher of Bon. It looks a bit cheesy to me. Can’t be Hansard as he was always trying for classy. The link is probably random as bonmedicine.com is a bit of a dead dog.

Thank you, Cranial, for that very important information. Thank you Bec for your contribution. You might like to contact ‘Witness’ as every voice helps.

It has already been mentioned that Hansard had a certificate from an Acupuncture school in Sri Lanka. They offer quick correspondence courses in acupuncture. Go there and you too can be a Master of Acupuncture in a few weeks. However, like Hansard you will not be able to join the Acupuncture Council in the UK.
