There is no doubt, Christopher Hansard's Dur-Con, his 'lineage' and 'training' are his fraudulent invention.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

The only person who asserts so-called Dur-Bon to be a genuine system of medicine and 'religion', that supposedly pre-dates Tibet's genuine Native Bon tradition, is Christoper Hansard. Yet he has been singularly unable and unwilling to provide any independent source or material to corroborate his claims. Even if we accept his story, that his was an oral tradition, it cannot exist b

Thank you for that clarification, regarding the details of Mr.Nelson's nationality, I gather he is though based in Canada, and has been for some time?
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Actually Ms Nathalie Mineau (former apprentice) Paul Nelson (Canadian supporter) and Terry Willard (Herbalist) seem (although one can never be sure if they were added by the Master of Dur Con) to have endorsed Hansard's petition. As to the majority of collaborators, supporters and 'apprentices', while they may not have openly supported him, here and elsewhere, they refuse to add

moderator..indeed that would appear to be the case, a consistent reluctance to tolerate any critique of Hansard's claims, and a determination to promote, as fact, either his supposed 'abilities', or so-called 'tradition'. Both of which of course have been thoroughly exposed as fraudulent, on this forum and elsewhere. This raises legitimate questions about motivation, and

Well said Moderator!
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

This is no argument or doubt regarding the fraudulent nature of Hansard's claims, unless of course one chooses to ignore the glaring inconsistencies, contradictions, distortions, plagiarism and deceptions, which are woven throughout his Dur-Con fiction. However, the world can of course be flat, all that is required to make it so is belief, after all why let inconvenient facts obstruct matter

Many thanks for that Lorenzetti, let us hope your experience and testimony awakes those whose minds appear closed to the facts. I am though reminded of Einstein's obsrvation that "People only hear what they want others to say".

Similar comments were once said of another fake who peddled a Tibetan pedigree, Lobsang Rampa, real name Cyril Hoskins, a plumber from Plymouth Devon UK. As he cashed in his considerable profits the real horrors of Chinese occupied Tibet were being virtually ignored. Like his infamous predecessor, I am not sure Hansard has, in any stretch of the imagination, assisted anything but himself, certain

It would appear Christopher Hansard has been sexually and emotionally abusing clients, if so that is criminal behaviour. Sympathy should in the first instance lean towards those who may have suffered such abuse, and to Bon, the native religion of Tibet, which Hansard plagiarized , distorted, and exploited for self-serving puposes.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Moderator...I agree entirely and your comments raise an important; if to some, sensitive issue, namely could Christopher Hansard have deceived, and manipulated for example native people's in Canada, without the active support and involvement of a number of 'believers'? Working in isolation, and minus a network of supporters, could he have arranged the schedules. hosted the workshop

Moderator...a note of appreciation for your reasonable and effective deconstruction of that individual's attempts at intimidation. As to legal threats I am sure there are number of people who would value greatly the opportunity to examine, in a court of law, the claims and activities of Christopher Hansard, or any of his supporters. It would be very interesting indeed to observe Hansard

Regarding Christopher Hansard's so-called 'lineage' and 'tradition', it was a fraudulent invention, that exploited Tibet's genuine Bon religion, and was cynically assembled for self-serving purposes. As to his supposed standing as a Master Physician of Tibetan Bon Medicine Hansard received no formal, or recognized training, in Tibetan medicine, and was certainly no
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Just as it matters, that clients were reportedly abused and manipulated by Hansard, it is also troubling that the Master of Dur Con cynically fashioned a parasitic deception, which exploited and misrepresented the genuine Bon tradition of Tibet. An already beleagured culture under the oppressive boot of communist China. It is also relevant to note that Hansard received no formal or recognized tra

Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

Hansard was indeed possessed of the ability to fool some people, beyond that he was a charlatan who peddled a cynical and self-serving fiction that exploited Tibet's genuine Bon tradition, and it would seem, sexually abused his clients. An interesting 'mysticism' indeed!

We await verifyable evidence to convince anyone that Christopher Hansard's claims are not a fraudulent and cynical fabrication. Until then perhaps the following points may sharpen the critical focus, and remind us that Dur-Con is just that. Dur-Bon is an archaic traditional practice which does not involve medicine or healing whatsoever. There, is amongst the traditional and authentic

Unfortunately due to the editorial constraints, which do appear to rather selectively applied to my postings, a debilitation not suffered by other contributors to this discussion, I am somewhat reluctant to enter a reply to the above comments.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

No we are back to the facts. That individual actively supported and promoted Dur Con, and was a central figure in maintaining and spreading the Master of Dur Con's deception. Why, she even administered the UK 'event' finances, a little beyond a casual interest, and hardly equivalent to those clients, who it is reported suffered a range of abuses by Hansard.
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

There was indeed marketing, ask Miss Charlotte Pulver she was very active in promoting Dur-Con, as evidenced by the fact that not only was she apparently the administrator of his website, but cheques to meet payments to Hansard's UK 'workshops' were payable to 'Charlotte Pulver Promotions'. Apart from the self-serving promotion, there was also fabrication, deceipt, ma
Forum: "Cults," Sects, and "New Religious Movements"

The Dur-Con hoax lay at the heart of Hansard's deception, there was no oral tradition, just a cynical and self-driven mind, that exploited those willing to believe the myth. If on the other hand you have objective and convincing information that proves Hansard was indeed following a genuine and ancient tradition please do provide details.

So please identify the sources of this supposed oral tradition, which CON-veniently, exists only within the deceiving imagination of Christopher Hansard. Unless of course you can furnish us contact details of the fabulous 'Urgyen Namchuk', or his family, since 'he' is credited to be the Master of Dur Con's 'teacher'.

As I have stated previously, with reference to Hare, Nelson and Lawson, the examination is not about their personal qualities, but the fact that they were, by their very close engagement, actively supporting and promoting, what were Hansard's deceptions, including websites, events, marketing and advertising.

So you would indulge, ignore, tolerate and support Hansard's seeming abuses by permitting your fear of 'danger' to prevent you from revealing your identity? One imagines it will be rather diffcult therefore to prosecute any legal case, if people such as yourself are hiding behind a veil of intimidation.
